A survey of the communications program at Whitesburg High School in Kentucky. Despite being located in one of the poorest counties in America, they have a newspaper, a weekly radio show and a video class. One girl comments as she puts the paper together: The reason people put what we do down is because we're doing stuff better than what they're doing.

Two little girls are asked what tape they'd like to rent at the video store if they could rent anything. The girls want to see The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover because it is NC-17 and they want to know what adult movies are all about.

Skip Blumberg talks to the security manager (who is smoking a pipe!) at the Philip Morris headquarters in New York about getting an interview, but he is denied on the grounds that he has no press credentials.

Children make up a large portion of those protesters. Anti-smoking activist Rev. Calvin O. Butts attempts to lead a coalition that includes Chicago community activist and Catholic priest Fr. Michael Flager to speak with the heads of the company. They are denied. Butts promises to return and take over the building. 23:51 Erica Becker by Eddie Becker. Erika discusses the issue of teen smoking with her father. She says, Kids do things that are bad because their parents don't let them do stuff... I have friends who are smoking because their parents don't want them to smoke. Her dad counters, So you're saying you don't smoke because your parents encouraged you to smoke? She replies, No, but they say, 'It's your life. You can ruin it if you want to.' 28:26 More from Martha Dewing. We have to remember as adults that the kids are experiencing things now - they don't have any point of reference from three years ago, ten years ago - they're watching TV! 28:46 Copeira by Bart Friedman.

Dr. Melanie Tarvalon, a pediatrician, says that black youths between 15-25 have a better chance of being killed than graduating from an institute of higher learning.

I think its a mistake to blame African American youth for the violence that occurs in our communities. 32:13 Sean Parker by Fred Bridges. Ex-gang member Sean Parker warns a group of students against getting involved in gangs: Gang banging will take you further than you want to go, make you spend more than you want to pay, and keep you longer than you want to stay.

They live to become prisoners... or you will find them in the grave... 35:00 Schooled Down Home by Teresa Tucker-Davies. Piney Woods Academy in Mississippi orchestrates a program that brings down kids from Chicago housing projects to live in a safer environment.

Kids in Irian Jaya, Indonesia scramble after a yellow balloon. 47:30 Betty Aberlin by Skip Blumberg.
