I saw this film when growing up. It was shown at school to all students 13/14 years old to serve as a warning of the consequences of teenage pregnancy.

What made this film interesting was that, rather than taking the "parable" path of the "documentary-sermon" [i.e., with a droning adult spouting the "you shouldn't do this because its bad" propaganda on the soundtrack with the usual accompanying emotion-shocker graphics] this film took a very different path.

The film is divided into vignettes - all of them from the point of view of the woman - all of them different. First there is "telling the parents" - one scene shows the mother terrified at what reaction the father will have; then there is an alternative showing the parents being loving and supportive. Then there is "telling the boyfriend" - one scene shows him blithefully accepting the situation; the other has him running away screaming at the news.

A very thoughtful approach indeed - and it definitely caught our attention as students far more than the typical lecture/threat method ever would have. It's too bad it's out of print.
