Historic Social Guidance Films
A Little History Lesson:
The social guidance films series is an extensive collection of propaganda films from the 1950's and 60's, when fear, sex, drugs, war, and civil rights were the dominant social guidance topics. When the U.S. servicemen returned home from fighting abroad, the economy began to soar, as a booming population whole-heartedly bought into the rising consumerist American culture. Everything seemed great. But wait - what about those crazy teenagers, susceptible to dangerous, abnormal and subversive influences? To attempt to safeguard American standards, the U.S. government (with the help of many corporations and big businesses) began a campaign to strengthen communities, families, and the overall moral atmosphere in America. As part of this campaign, dozens of films were sponsored that encouraged viewers to follow the social norms of the day. These movies were shown in schools across the country and became quite popular as the production techniques improved and funding for these films increased. Originally, most of the films dealt with the subject of social etiquette and public behavior. However, as the collection of films and filmmakers grew, more challenging, risqué themes were tackled, such as: tobacco, alcohol and drug abuse, sexual abstinence, societal outcasts and strangers, homosexuality, and racial, gender and religious prejudice. Eventually, a film was made for almost every imaginable topic, including less controversial issues such as: community awareness, developing strong friendships, getting married the "right way," respecting the autonomy of elders and those in power, and health and hygiene issues. Today, we are left with a terrific library of these social guidance films, which allow us to learn about the past using the DVD technology of the present. We have preserved a massive collection of these films onto DVD format so that future generations can have the opportunity to view and study these fantastic films, while taking a deeper look at the development of sociology in our world.
