Let’s Talk about Sex

from lipstick to laptops. Yet fear and silence around sex and sexuality also
permeate our culture. Teens are paying a terrible price for this confusion in
unintended pregnancy, STDs, and even HIV… [but] American taxpayers are paying
billions to treat these entirely preventable problems.” Through intimate
interviews with teens, parents, and professionals in the field, director James
Houston challenges the viewer to confront uncomfortable subject matter a
societal and personal level.
