Psychologists, teachers and school nurses criticize the unhealthy culture surrounding our children, where marketing and advertising are targeting younger and younger audiences and bombarding them with sexual and sexist images. Sexy Inc. suggests various ways of countering hypersexualization and the eroticization of childhood and invites us to rally against this worrying phenomenon.

      “Great film, about a really important topic. I love the way the teenagers trash the images, and sink their teeth into the hypocracy. More power to them. Kids are far too commodified these days, and far too much of that is still gender-specific. This issue needs to be addressed...it's been ignored for too long. For the sake of the kids themselves - they deserve better than they get. ”
