Due for release in late July, the new Barbie movie is marketing itself as a film for fans and haters alike. With stars like Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera in starring roles, can this movie make Barbara Millicent Roberts, aka Barbie, a modern woman? Columnists Sarah Ditum and Victoria Smith join Today's Mishal Husain to talk about the evolution of the doll over the years and the 'ambivalent role' Barbie has in society.
