Merchants of Cool (0:56)

In the Frontline documentary "Merchants of Cool," director Barak Goodman quoted a teen horror movie, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, in a report on the marketing of popular culture to teens.

He invoked fair use because this horror film is used as a point of reference for a discussion on the effect of media, sex and violence on teens.
