Be warned - this documentary is not for the faint of heart. The film is a great realistic approach to sex education but frankly I don't think it could be made today. We are taken on a journey of the body as it develops through puberty and everything, yes everything, is shown. Be advised that there is a massive amount of underage nudity here. Granted it's all educational and non-sexual but it will certainly be off putting for some. In one scene we are shown a full frontal view of two 14 year old teens, male and female. The camera captures an extremely closeup view of the boys penis and the girls hairy vulva. I'm talking close enough you can see the the intricate detail of the labia and the surrounding individual pubic hairs. We are shown fully naked teens of all ages as well as erections and male and female masturbation. The directors really went all out here. I'm slightly shocked they were able to find teen models this young who were willing to display themselves in such explicit manner and whose parents consent. The 1970s were simply a different era I suppose. If you can stomach the explicit content there is an educational film here. Perhaps in a more relaxed society this wouldn't be so jarring but in todays environment I doubt any classes would even show this to students.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people.
