Hidden Agenda

Kylee Darcy, 18, Fairfax, California

Filmmaker's Note:

I am 18 years old, from Fairfax, California, dancer, an activist, extreme snowboarder, mountain biker and traveler. If you think I'm a dumb blonde, well, so much the better. You won't know what hit you!

I am surrounded by hidden agenda, bombarded with false advertising and political spin; reality distorted as peoplecover up for personal gain. I’ve attempted to show this duplicity in an artistic way. My message: You can hide behind a mask of lies, but you can’t hide from truth. I was only fifteen when I had my identity stolen — for the FIRST time! Yeah, it’s happened twice! Every time I check my e-mail there’s yet another bogus lottery "win."Most of my cosmetics have toxic ingredients, the mac and cheese I wolfed as a kid has more artificial color than nutrients. Even my dog’s food was laced with a poisonous product to make it look like it contained more protein. My president claims ignorance of the lack of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A minister who spreads homophobic propaganda turns out to be gay himself. Boyfriends cheat. Girlfriends gossip. Who’s a girl going to trust!?!
