What Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood Is About
The documentary examines the multi-billion dollar marketing operation that sells children and their parents everything from junk food and violent games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on health professionals, children’s advocates and people from inside the industry, it traces the explosive growth of child marketing after deregulation and how advances in psychology, anthropology and neuroscience have been used to turn children into one of the most profitable consumer groups in the world. The film argues against the wholesale commercialisation of childhood, and it does so as an openly stated case of its own. Adriana Barbaro and Jeremy Earp directed the sixty six minute production together for the Media Education Foundation.
