Taking Chances (1979 film)

Taking Chances is a Canadian short educational docudrama film, directed by Robert Lang and released in 1979. The film centres on Leigh and Kathy, teenagers who are conflicted on the question of whether to introduce sex into their relationship.

John Brooke of Cinema Canada praised the film for offering a well-rounded portrait of the conflicting array of messages and social pressures that teenagers face around matters of sex rather than simply moralizing about it.

The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Documentary Under 30 Minutes at the 1st Genie Awards in 1980.
