Documentary Description
Are children being pushed prematurely into adulthood? Sophie
Bissonnette's documentary Sexy inc. Nos enfants sous influence analyzes
the hypersexualization of our environment and its noxious effects on
young people. 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. These stereotypes treat girls of
all ages as sexual objects, and exercise a damaging the effect on their
identities. Because they see degrading images of sexuality on the
Internet, some children confuse sexual relations with pornography. Sexy
inc. suggests various ways of countering hypersexualization and the
eroticization of childhood and invites us to rally against this
worrying phenomenon
