Lets Talk About Sex
Thursday, 24 March 2011 12:12

We're excited to announce the upcoming premiere of the film LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX, which was produced in collaboration with Advocates for Youth! 

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX presents an innovative and empowering new vision for shifting our culture's approach to young people and sexual health in the United States. More details after the jump.

 


 

While American teens live in a society that uses sex to sell everything from lipstick to laptops, they are rarely afforded opportunities to discuss sex and sexual health in an open, honest way. Through interviews with real parents and teens, health experts, and faith leaders, director James Houston presents a revealing look at how American attitudes towards adolescent sexuality impact teenagers. The United States has among the highest teen pregnancy and STD rates in the industrialized world.

Produced in collaboration with Advocates for Youth, LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX is both a catalyst and a tool to initiate healthy conversations in kitchens and classrooms across the country.
 
This film will be a great tool for activists, educators, and communities to jumpstart conversations about young people, sexual health, and sex education in America. We'll be back in touch over the next few weeks with more information about viewing parties, discussion guides, and organizing related campus and community events.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX will be available on DVD starting on Tuesday, April 12. You can already pre-order your copy at Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.
