A/V Geeks

Made for home economics class, this is a primer on sensible food shopping. We learn to read canned food labels and get a glimpse at the mysterious grading system for various foods (and may understand why food grades are no longer advertised unless they are ‘“Grade A”’). Many of this film’’s messages are still poignant today, especially since supermarkets are designed to encourage ““impulse buying.””

This film is available on the Educational Archives Volume 8: Social Engineering 201 DVD

Televised Teen Trauma, Volume One

Ah yes, the ABC Afterschool Special. This
show introduced a whole generation of kids to suicide, alcoholism, drug abuse,
where babies come from and what happens when your best friend has one. All of
this before the parents got home from work. What’s even better is that most
of these shows featured many stars before they got famous. This tape contains
edited versions of what you saw on TV: Stoned: An Anti-Drug Film (with
Scott Baio), Schoolboy Father (with Rob Lowe and Dana Plato) and One
Too Many
(with Michelle Pfeiffer and Val Kilmer)
