In a country famous for its success in international beauty pageants, three young women are fighting to participate in their nation's most celebrated cultural institution.

To Be a Miss is a character-driven documentary that takes the viewer through the inner workings of Venezuela's renowned beauty factory, revealing the risks and rewards associated with this multi-billion dollar industry while exposing what nationalism, personal ambition, and the influence of mass media has meant for women in the country.
