Human Reproduction (1947)

This film is a very early example of sex education and caused quite a bit of controversy in its day. It is a very straightforward examination of the anatomy and physiology of the human reproductive process taught from the view of an adult answering his son's questions about how sex and reproduction work. The film is filled with excellent diagrams of the entire process. The film is as good a teaching guide today as it was then because it sticks to strict medical facts surrounding reproduction without trying to put forth any particular moral stance.
