New and SEXY inc. in the library

Sexy Inc. Our Children Under the Influence (2007) offers a "critical look at the phenomenon of hypersexualization". This NFB film by Canadian Filmmaker Sophie Bissonnette is great for Planning, Health and Career, Marketing, Media Literacy and units in many subject areas.

Check out the article in the recent Georgia Straight http://www.straight.com/article-168867/girls-are-taking-risks-copying-pussycat-dolls and check out the NFB website to download the teacher's guide or to preview clips. http://www3.nfb.ca/webextension/sexy-inc/ The DVD comes with a facilitation guide to help you plan your lesson.
