Summary: A group of young men and women discuss a wide range of subjects - chiefly social justice, education, the politics of the post-war world, and relations between the generations.
Description: The opening titles explain "We were asked by the Ministry of Information to make a film on the Youth of Britain. To find out what young people were thinking. We got together a representative group... This first discussion was so interesting that we decided to put it on record..." The discussion as filmed lacks spontaneity, as the speakers are obviously following a script which either repeats, links or enhances statements made earlier. The general tone of the conversation is liberal/mild socialist; few of the speakers are really radical.
