Summary
Follows Brendan Moffit on a shopping trip to the mall and explores how peer pressure, the media, and advertisers influence teens to spend their money. Interspersed with the mall scenes are interviews with shopkeepers and young people who talk about "fitting in" and the pressures to consume. Makes the point that, with poor job prospects and little access to the political process, teenagers come to see themselves primarily as consumers, a self-image that marketers are only too happy to encourage and exploit. As one teen says in this hip-hop-style documentary, "I pay no rent. My income is one hundred per cent disposable."
