Movies - Special Issues for Tweens and Teens
Though young adolescents may seem "all grown up", there are still many issues that need to be addressed relating to movie content.

The rating systems don't necessarily help either: films that were rated Restricted (17 and over) at the cinema may become 14A when released on home video in Canada.
