The Sexualization of Youth - A Fabulous Documentary

Sexy Inc. Our Children Under Influence is a fantastic 35 minute documentary from the National Film Board of Canada.

Description: Sophie Bissonnette's documentary analyzes the hypersexualization of our environment and its noxious effects on young people. Psychologists, teachers and school nurses criticize the unhealthy culture surrounding our children, where marketing and advertising are targeting younger and younger audiences and bombarding them with sexual and sexist images. Sexy Inc. suggests various ways of countering hypersexualization and the eroticization of childhood and invites us to rally against this worrying phenomenon.
