New DVD Offers and Inside Look at the Culture of Teen Sexual Harrassment and Bullying

Wired For Sex, Lies and Power Trips is a unique and compelling program that examines the price that adolescents, especially girls, pay to be cool, hip, and popular in our brave new wired world. Questioning and confronting their own and each other’s
stereotypes and assumptions, three different groups of culturally diverse teenagers share personal stories of navigating their hyper-sexualized, high-tech environment, where the online posting of racy photos, raunchy videos, and explicit gossip and lies is commonplace.


In its unflinching exposé, the film takes viewers on a journey that includes candid personal interviews and diary excerpts, images from computer screens and youth nightclubs, and clips from short fictional films that the three groups’ members have made about sexual and social pressures on their lives.
