Visit Visit our website This 1960 Christian film, “Our Youth Culture -- Youth in Rebellion“ was presented by Family Films, made through the facilities of Jack L. Copeland Productions. The film is hosted and narrated by Bob Wright and includes interviews of youngsters, professionals, and religious figures. The movie represents an attempt by an older generation that is attempting to understand modern teens' mindsets, and to communicate with them. Specifically, it hopes to push a change of mindset towards anti-establishment and anti-Vietnam War protests, drinking and drug use, sexual liberation, and other values in opposition to establishment values. Over and over again, the film promotes a message of preserving and returning to the values of the Christian church. This film was written by Don Hall and produced and directed by Jack L. Copeland.
