It’s awkward to talk openly with kids about pornography. But it’s something we have to do if we’re going to take meaningful steps toward protecting the next generation of children from exposure to violent and degrading sexual content online. Over 18 is a clear-eyed examination of modern pornography and its effects on kids, teens, parents and adult film actors. In addition to interviews with academics and pornographers, the film compares what porn used to be in the magazine era and what it’s become in the Internet age, and demonstrates why young people, in particular, are susceptible to addiction to porn.
