Chasing the Crown
One of America’s favorite pastimes, beauty pageants are held in every corner of the nation. CHASING THE CROWN charts the drama, humor and pathos of the competitive beauty contest world by going behind the scenes at The Ethnic World International Pageant. An original one-hour documentary on WE: Women’s Entertainment (April, 2005), the show is hosted by Kate Shindle, Miss America 1998. Abandoning clichés and showcasing cultural diversity, the film follows contestants through a weekend of activities and emotions at an unusual beauty pageant – one that provides an outlet for women of all sizes, ages and colors.
