With a fearless look at a highly charged subject, Straightlaced unearths how popular pressures around gender and sexuality are confining American teens. From girls confronting media messages about body image to boys who are sexually active just to prove they aren’t gay, this fascinating array of students opens up with brave and intimate honesty about the toll that deeply held stereotypes and rigid gender policing have on all of our lives. Produced by Academy Award-winning Director Debra Chasnoff and Groundspark Media. http://groundspark.org/our-films-and-campaigns/straightlaced
