Mischief with a purpose! This provocative series does exactly that. A group of five charismatic Mothers with teenage children are given the tools to create their very own porn film, and showcase their version of happy, healthy sex.
Porn used to be hidden away on the top shelf, but now it’s all over the internet, and on children’s tablets and smartphones. 80% of teenagers say they have seen porn online, often accidentally. Worryingly, researchers have found that most porn includes scenes of physical aggression, mostly towards women.
Understandably, mums (and dads) are worried about the impact this easily accessible pornography is having on their teenage children, especially with some of it promoting unrealistic and often damaging views about sex. But what is the solution? If parents can’t prevent their kids from seeing this material, can they help produce the content and represent sex in a better way?
In this three part series for Channel 4, a group of five ordinary mums of teenage children research and explore the world of modern pornography. They then produce their very own ‘porn’ film with the help of industry experts. The mums write, cast, direct and edit the film, building to a final screening for an invited audience.
Their mission is to create a film which not only works as pornography but one that creates a debate and promotes healthy attitudes towards sex and relationships for the next generation.
