Media Youthanasia (16 min.)
The relationship between the media and young people is the focal point
of this documentary. With humor and fast-paced imagery, student producers
show how youth culture has become a valuable commodity in an ever-expanding
mass market. They speak passionately about how commercialism repackages
teen culture and sells it to young consumers, attempting to shape their
identities.

1940-1950 (90 min.)
Looking back a few decades, this video presents case histories of debutante
daughters and depression-ridden children of the poor, as well as studies
the effect of war on children, the role models for teenage girls, the
fight for more modern schools, and the educational techniques and facilities
in the forties.
