Film and discussion: Let's Talk about Sex

The documentary Let's Talk About Sex explores how attitudes toward sex impact unplanned pregnancy and STDS in teens. New York-based photographer James Houston was inspired to make the film after traveling the world, and realizing that, while American teens live in a society that uses sex to sell everything from lipstick to laptops, they are rarely afforded opportunities to discuss sex in an open, honest way. Let's Talk about Sex was produced in collaboration with Advocates for Youth, the leading nonprofit organization focused on issues relating to adolescent reproductive health. James Wagoner is a respected public policy and reproductive health expert and executive director of Advocates for Youth. He has also served as executive vice president of NARAL Pro-Choice America and on the staff of Ohio Senator Howard M. Metzenbaum. A conversation with James Wagoner will follow the 62-minute film.
