Children In Crisis

Films Media Group, (film distributor.). Home Box Office (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: This program lays out the damage obesity is doing to our nation's children. We follow the families of four overweight kids from Boston, San Francisco and Wisconsin as they seek help and try to make positive lifestyle changes. The show also describes the strong forces that cause kids to consume too many calories and expend too little energy, with issues ranging from school lunch and the decline of physical education to whether it should be legal to market junk food to children.
