Twelve

Tuesday March 10, 2009 on CBC

A filmmaker confronts personal demons with help from 12 people who, like him, all came to Canada when they were 12 years old.

Lester Alfonso came to Canada from the Philippines and that first year shaped who he is today. His film asks the question: if you could go back and speak to your 12-year-old self, what would you say? Alfonso attempts to answer this question by interviewing a dozen people about this pivotal moment in their lives. On the cusp of surging teenage hormones, 12-year-olds often experience emotions with more intensity. Adapting to a new country at this age can be overwhelming and initial impressions sometimes last a lifetime. The stories told recall both pleasure and pain - ranging from the joy of shopping in a store filled with goods to the shame of personal humiliation by a teacher.
Lester Alfonso Lester Alfonso, filmmaker

By collecting other people's stories and soliciting their words of advice, Alfonso is forced to face some painful memories from his own past. Will this journey finally set him free? Twelve is an utterly unique and visually stylish take on what it means to become Canadian. (excerpt)

Just in case if it is a mortal sin, majority of us are sinners.

Talking about masturbation, I think personally this is the time where boys discover their maleness. Through our concept that it is a sin, it causes an emotional conflict in us which hampers our full development. It is a cause that some becomes sexually perverse.
