This lecture was based on a film called Kids directed by Larry Clark. It is about a corrupt and immoral HIV positive teenager who sets out to have sex with as many virgin's as he can. Also the plot involves one of his victims who tries to stop him in the process. I think this film is a very pragmatic look at the social lives and activities of teenagers. I found some parts of the film very nauseating, especially when the central character has sex with an under age girl. Although this film explores the seedy side of life, the issues in this film are present in our society and i think this film forces us to realise these subject matters and not just turn a blind eye to them.
Here is a site where you can see photos and trailers of the film and also find out basic information about the film:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113540/
