Are children being pushed into adulthood too soon? Sophie Bissonnette’s documentary analyzes the hypersexualization of our environment and its noxious effects on young people. Experts criticize an unhealthy culture created by advertising and the media, and the many examples shown illustrate how children are reduced to consumers bombarded with images of girls treated as purely sexual objects. While the specialists emphasize how these stereotypes, as well as early exposure to internet pornography, damage young people’s development, the film does suggest ways we can counteract this worrying phenomenon. It is a rallying cry.
An NFB production.
