Title:
Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood (Trailer)
Description:
COMING THIS SUMMER FROM THE MEDIA EDUCATION FOUNDATION http://www.mediaed.org With virtually no government or public outcry, the multi-billion dollar youth marketing industry has been able to use the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. American kids now influence an estimated $700 billion in annual spending, targeted virtually from birth with a relentless bombardment of sophisticated commercial appeals designed to sell everything from Hollywood merchandise and junk foods to iPods, cell phones, the family car and vacations. The result is that childhood itself has been commercialized. Drawing on the insights of experts, industry insiders, and children themselves, Consuming Kids traces the evolution and impact of this disturbing and unprecedented phenomenon, exposing the youth marketing industry's controversial tactics and exploring the effect of hyper-consumerism on the actual lived experience of children. Featuring: Enola Aird Dr. Michael Brody Nancy Carlsson-Paige Josh Golin Diane Levin Susan Linn Dr. Alvin Poussaint Dr. Michael Rich Juliet Schor and other prominent children's advocates
