Bleach, Nip, Tuck: The White Beauty Myth


Strong language and detailed footage of surgical procedures which some viewers may find disturbing
Michael Jackson\'s radical facial transformation was shrouded in secrecy and became a contentious
subject for discussion. Many saw him as a sell-out, betraying his ethnic heritage. For others he is
a source of inspiration, paving the way for people to use surgery and science to change their race.
Part of the Race: Science\'s Last Taboo season, these programmes examine the emerging trend for
deracialisation surgery through the stories of six people who want to go to extreme lengths to
westernise their bodies and faces. The film also interviews the surgeons willing to make their
dreams come true.
Whether it\'s a more Caucasian nose, longer legs, wider eyes, or even less body hair, plastic surgery
and science are making anything possible. The programme asks whether it is right to want to erase
your inherited ethnic features to fit in to a predominantly white society.
Episode two: The Face
The Face follows three people who are desperate for \'whiter\' facial features. We also find out how
westernization surgery is thriving across the globe - from double eyelid and \'face smashing\' surgery
in South Korea, to nose jobs in Pakistan.

Seriously, they do not want to be whitelike; they do want to be gorgeous-model white... It must be
terrible to be a disappointment to yourself all your life. It must be really, really hard
psychologically... I am glad I like myself and I am loved the way I am.
