This documentary examines the role of women in modern hip hop music videos. It explores how music videos have become increasingly sexualized over the years, with women often dressed in revealing clothing and dancing provocatively around men. Some women discussed feeling exploited by this process, being asked to do more than they were initially comfortable with. While fame and money attracted some to become "video girls", others recounted experiences of unwanted sexual advances and assault. The documentary scrutinizes the message this sends to young audiences and questions whether change is needed to promote more positive representation of women.

control because they can use the women and
make them think that its for a better role.
