3. Video: Teens Hooked on Porn, BBC, March 2007, 57:08 minutes (http://ezproxy.vccs.edu:2048/login?url=http://digital.films.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?aid=7544&xtid=37386)

"Whether they live in America, Britain, or elsewhere, most teenage boys have been exposed to some form of pornography. But the Internet has radically escalated that exposure—to the point at which many adolescents are addicted. This program follows the stories of teenage porn addicts as they struggle with the issues that drive their behavior—although not all are open to soul-searching. Darryl, age 17, doesn’t think he has a problem, but 16-year-old Malcolm has recognized his addiction and has begun seeing a therapist. Colin, age 14 and a devout Christian, needs help too but is unsure about approaching his pastor. All of their stories are tied together by issues of anger, aggression, and inhibition, and raise questions about the role of parents." Video retrieved from: http://digital.films.com/play/RUDP5J

4. Video: Sexy Inc.: A Critical Look at the Hypersexualization of Childhood, National Film Board of Canada, 2007, 26:24 minutes (http://ezproxy.vccs.edu:2048/login?url=http://digital.films.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?aid=7544&xtid=43333) "The eroticization and physical objectification that are staples of the youth-focused business/media complex give the impression that exploitative, age-inappropriate sexuality is natural, normal, and even necessary. This documentary condemns the hypersexualization of kid culture and exposes the severely damaging effects of hypersexuality on young psyches—female, predominantly, but male as well. Pervasive Internet porn, which serves children as a toxic artificial standard for sexual intimacy, is also addressed. Commentary is provided by psychologist Sharon Lamb, medical and education professionals, and others working to offset the pernicious effects of 'Sexy Inc.' in children’s lives." Video retrieved
