Documentary

Eighteen-year-old Bianca Badham grew up in a typical British nudist club. Fascinated by the rise of teenage nudism on both sides of the Atlantic, she embarks on a journey to discover why nudism, previously the preserve of the middle aged, is now so popular with British and American youth, and whether it is harmless fun or a paedophile's dream? On her journey, Bianca asks other young people who have discovered nudism what they think it's really about and why they enjoy it so much. Along the way she considers some of the pitfalls of an activity which for many is utterly taboo. As well as meeting young British nudists at a weekend event, she travels to America where nudist ideology is being actively promoted to children. She attends a nudist camp in New York State, and Nudestock 2004 in Sacramento, the biggest nudist rock festival in the world. Bianca also visits experts such as professors and sex therapists who raise questions about whether nudism has a sexual side, what its benefits might be, and whether, in the current atmosphere of paedophile paranoia, it is still possible for teenage nudism to be pursued in the spirit it was originally intended.
