Utah Teens Talk Film bloggers are members of Planned Parenthood Association of Utah’s Teen Council. They work as peer sex educators in their schools and communities. As members of the blogging team, teens participate in the Damn These Heels Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival, watch independent films, and interview filmmakers, advocates, and writers from all over the world.
