From the director of the acclaimed documentary on social bullying, It's a Girl's World.
What price do teenagers pay to be cool, hip and popular in a sexually charged social world? Whether it's posting sexy photos and raunchy video on the net, ass-grabbing in the school hallway or spreading explicit gossip that shatters high school lives, harassment is commonplace, even acceptable.
Through computer screens, inside all-ages clubs, with candid personal diaries and the teens' own short dramas about sexual pressures, It's a Teen's World is an unflinching exposé of three culturally diverse groups of Toronto teens who share what it's like to navigate a tangled web of sex, lies and power trips.
DVD BONUS FEATURES:
