Passing off  #BringItOn as nothing more than fluffy early-2000s girl-power cinema overlooks the power of the movie’s progressive approach to themes of race and class. “We were talking about privilege before we knew that word,” writer @JBendinger tells us. https://bit.ly/3jcaHfP ">https://bit.ly/3jcaHfP&q...

In ‘But I’m a Cheerleader’ Megan cannot fathom that she’s gay — isn’t she a cheerleader instead? “These characters are othered girls — girls who aren’t normally the center of stories. They are girls of color, girls who are queer, girls who are of a lower socioeconomic status.”

So it makes sense that in January 2020, the Netflix docuseries ‘Cheer’ would become a phenomenon for demystifying and undercutting these notions of prototypical cheerleader perfection and glamour both aesthetically and emotionally.
