Filled with never-before-seen footage, Beyond the Gaze not only tells the story of the world famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, but also the woman behind the revolutionary idea. Creator Jule Campbell pioneered a groundbreaking feminist fashion feature that would go on to change the world. Campbell battled male executives and fought to protect the women they featured, solidifying herself as one of the most important magazine editors of all time. Featuring star studded interviews with supermodels Tyra Banks, Christie Brinkley, Elle Macpherson, Paulina Porizkova and many more, and directed by Campbell’s daughter-in-law Jill Campbell, this eye-opening film follows the career of a legend who continuously fought for artistic expression and feminism. Beyond the Gaze reminds us of the battle women faced to be seen, to be taken seriously, and to be celebrated in this patriarchal society even today. – Sierra Slaughter
