This innovative program offers a fresh, edgy look at how today's teens navigate the complicated terrain of sexual activity and personal choices. Real teens frankly discuss their own sexual experiences, which range from abstinence to sexual intercourse within a committed relationship to casual hook-ups. These articulate teens from diverse backgrounds all share two common threads: they resent how the media sends mixed messages about sexual activity to youth, and they want to spread the word that sexual decision making should include asking questions and getting educated about the possible consequences of sexual activity-such as pregnancy, STD infection and personal regret. This documentary film is sure to catch the attention of viewers with its fast-pace interviews, candid discussion and a memorable hip-hop music video. Program powerfully reminds viewers that it is important to "stop, think and talk before you jump into bed." Teacher's Resource Book offers activities to promote additional discussion after viewing.

Includes Resource Guide.

Dr. Lynn Ponton, leading figure in adolescent psychiatry and author of The Sex Lives of Teenagers, calls Silence Ain't Sexy "vibrant and well-constructed… a much needed sexual education tool."
