“Barbie Nation: An Unauthorized Tour”Not Rated. On VODGrade: A-A quarter century after its debut, the documentary “Barbie Nation: An Unauthorized Tour” returns, and it is as ahead of its time as ever. Written and directed by Susan Stern, the documentary explores the Barbie phenomenon in ways that would cause conservative school board members, not to mention Mattel executives, to blow their stacks. In a new, expanded director’s cut released in anticipation of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming feature film “Barbie,” “Barbie Nation” starts out by demonstrating how some (very rich) Barbie collectors might think nothing of spending $4,000-plus in the late 1990s for a rare model of the doll at auction.The doll was launched in 1959 by Mattel and its visionary co-founder Ruth Handler, who believed correctly that girls would respond positively to an “adult” female doll and use it to help them express their own dreams and desires.
