Tiny Shoulders: Rethinking Barbie is an American documentary film that premiered on April 27, 2018 on Hulu.[1] Directed, written, and produced by Andrea Blaugrund Nevins, it explores the creation of the Barbie doll, the effect it has had on culture, and its evolution over the decades.[2] For years, Barbie for some can spark unrealistic expectations for younger girls and even cause body image issues.[3] According to Time, this petite, tall and curvy doll known as Barbie, constitutes as a major figure of the feminist movement and symbolizes male oppression. She has sparked debate and controversy for a variety of reasons which this documentary aims to capture.[4]
