A documentary about the sexual exploitation of teenage girls in the United States that features interviews with Daryl Hannah, Jane Velez-Mitchell, Senator Ron Wyden, and more.

Your American Teen is a full-length documentary about the sexual exploitation of teenage girls in the Pacific Northwest. One thing is clear, from incest, drugs, violent sexualized music, advertisements, movies, and sexual harassment in our schools, shopping-malls and internet; our girls are under attack.

Your American Teen, follows three teenage girls over three years who suffered severe trauma as children and throughout their adolescence. All had parents who were unable or unwilling to care for them. Their stories are horrifying and tragic and yet, in them, we see hope, innocence and beauty.

What makes it special?

Your American Teen gives the audience a painfully honest view into the underbelly of American society. Raw, unforgiving and beautifully crafted, “Your American Teen” is truly a paradigm changer.

Who should see the film?

Every 30 seconds, another victim is forced into the world of human trafficking, many 12 years old and even younger. Your American Teen is a film that must be seen by every caring adult in the United States and beyond. This film is an invaluable resource for educators and organizations interested in educating the public about the epidemic of sexual exploitation of our children.

Who is behind “Your American Teen”?

Your American Teen was filmed in association with the Jennifer A Lynch Committee Against Domestic Violence. This project was the brainchild of director and executive producer, Charles Taylor Gould.

Charles Taylor Gould has been an advocate for children’s rights for over a decade, building programs for Multnomah County Community Corrections (Portland, Ore.) that are designed to help boys and girls become productive men and women.

Charles began producing and directing his own film projects in 2009, with official entries in the Seattle International Film Festival, San Diego Black Film Festival, and a “Best Film in Its Category” award from the Columbia Gorge International Film Festival. He has acted for over a decade, sharing screen credits with Angelina Jolie, James Earl Jones, Vincent D’Onofrio and Gregory Hines.

Whether documentary, music video or narrative film, Charles’s productions have one common goal: to give voice to neglected and abused children.
