MARGARET MEAD AND SAMOA [VIDEORECORDING].
Producer, director, Frank Heimans.
Margaret Throsby.
Margaret Mead was one of the best-known women in American history. The book that
made her famous was Coming of Age in Samoa which she wrote at the age of 23. In
it she announced her discovery of a Polynesian culture free of the stresses of
adolescence: a place of sexual promiscuity, free love and harmony. In 1940,
Derek Freeman, another 23 year old anthropology student, arrived in Samoa. He
expected to find the island paradise whose description had so captivated him.
But instead, he encountered a society obsessed by rank, and where aggression
rape and conflict was commonplace. After collecting evidence for thirty years,
he published his refutation of Mead's book, an academic bombshell. The result
has been one of the greatest controversies in the history of anthropology.

A documentary on how in the American heartland of consumerism, advertisers are
fighting for the most important market of all - children. Kids under-12 are now
at the centre of the maelstrom. There is a dramatic shift in family dynamics,
with power devolving from parent to child. Big business wants children's
attention, their money and their powers of persuasion. Anti-marketers fight to
protect them. Parents are mostly at a loss for what to do. Provides the
historical background to the hype of child consumerism, as seen today. Traces it
back to the beginning of the 20th century, when a new romantic idea of childhood
emerged. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, a more inclusive family emerged; and
parents were exploring a different way of parenting. Kids were now becoming
influential. Business caught on, seizing the opportunity to target them in their
advertising. By the 1990s, there was an explosion of kids consumerism. Marketers
have discovered the baby. Most major corporations now adopt the philosophy of,
'hook them young, and you will have them for life' - in the cradle to grave
brand loyalty. Includes selected archival footage, and interviews with experts
for comments.
