What if teenagers are doing exactly as nature intended by being selfish, reckless, irrational, irritable and impossible? This documentary looks at this critical developmental stage of the brain from a scientific and evolutionary point of view. Today’s cutting edge scientific research challenges conventional thinking about the adolescent years. Instead of complaining about teenage behavior, we should treasure it. This intriguing documentary features the knowledge and research of international scientists and experts like National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) neurologist Dr. Jay Giedd, a foremost expert on adolescent brain development; Cambridge evolutionary biologist Dr. David Bainbridge; adolescent mental health expert Dr. Stan Kutcher; biological anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher and innovation and technology expert Don Tapscott. DVD Release 2016 Closed Captioned Duplication, Digital and HD ITV rights available
