  • Growing Up is a sex education film for schools, 23 minutes in length, first shown in April 1971, which was made by Dr Martin Cole. It is now available as part of The Joy of Sex Education DVD and was described by one critic as "the most famous and controversial inclusion", and by Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian as the "undoubted masterpiece of this double-DVD set". At the time of its release it was said to be "the most explicit and frank film ever made for use in schools", and attracted condemnation by Mary Whitehouse, Lord Longford, Margaret Thatcher and members of the Women's Liberation Movement who all, excepting Thatcher, attended the first public screening. Made two years before its earliest public showing, Cole though soon regretted a traditionalist description of gender roles in the film's opening commentary. The function of women was described as "giving birth to children", while it claimed men were "better at giving birth to ideas", a sequence which the Women's Liberation Movement objected to. There was a version of the film shown to Aston University students earlier for feedback prior to the final version being released. It features scenes rather than drawings of naked people, which included intercourse and masturbation. Teachers and pupils gave it positive feedback, but the absence of a discussion of venereal disease (VD) was noted by sympathetic reviewers. The film triggered a national controversy;"Educationally speaking, it is a rotten film", Whitehouse said after viewing the film, "which makes children no more than animals." Margaret Thatcher, then secretary of state for education who had sent an advisor to view the film, told the House of Commons on 21 April that she was "very perturbed" at the thought of the film being shown in schools and suggested local education authorities consider it "with extreme caution". After insisting on a screening, the education authority in Birmingham, where Cole lived, banned the film from being shown in the city's schools. There is no record of the film being shown to school children anywhere by the end of 1971, although it was shown to students at Oxford University. In 1976 the film was shown to pupils at Milham Ford Girls' School, Oxford with the support of the then headmistress and the majority of the governors. A number of parents and pupils subsequently raised concerns with the National Viewers and Listeners Association. (en)
  • Growing Up es una película de educación sexual para escuelas, de 23 minutos de duración, que se proyectó por primera vez en abril de 1971 y fue realizada por el . Está disponible como parte del DVD The Joy of Sex education (La alegría de la educación sexual)​ y fue descrita por un crítico como "la inclusión más famosa y controvertida",​ y por de The Guardian como la "obra maestra indudable de este DVD". En su estreno, se dijo que era "la película más explícita y franca jamás realizada para uso escolar",​ y atrajo señalamientos a Mary Whitehouse, ,​ Margaret Thatcher​ y miembros del Movimiento de liberación de las mujeres, todos los cuales, a excepción de Thatcher, asistieron a la primera proyección pública.​ Realizada dos años antes de su primera exhibición pública, su director pronto se arrepintió de la descripción tradicionalista de los roles de género dada en la apertura de la película. La función de la mujer fue descrita como "dar a luz a los niños", mientras que afirmaba que los hombres eran "mejores dando a luz a las ideas", una secuencia que objetó el Movimiento de Liberación de la Mujer.​​ Anteriormente, se mostró una versión de la película a los estudiantes de la Universidad de Aston para recibir comentarios antes de lanzar la versión final. La película presenta escenas, en lugar de dibujos, de personas desnudas, que incluían relaciones sexuales y masturbación. Los profesores y los alumnos le dieron comentarios positivos, pero los revisores notaron la ausencia de discusión sobre enfermedades venéreas.​ (es)
