According to 1982 statistics, there were 250,000 cases of gonorrhea amongst teenagers every year. Among the youthful victims of this disease (at least according to this powerful ABC Afterschool Special) is 17-year-old Kristin Sorenson (Lori-Nan Engler), who apparently contacted gonorrhea during a summer romance. What does this crisis bode for Kristin's future -- not to mention the future of her summer boyfriend -- and that of everyone with whom both teens have come in contact since their brief indiscretion? ~ All Movie Guide

A young Trini Alvarado stars in this Emmy-winning ABC Afterschool Special as Alicia Mann, an aspiring folksinger. To realize her dream, teenaged Alicia takes a summer job at a coffee shop where she is allowed to perform without pay. Alicia's mother, Inez (Joanna Merlin), is appalled by this, insisting that Alice accept a "safe" job at the factory where Inez works. A crisis develops when Alicia is forced to choose between a singing career and a generous scholarship offered her by Inez' boss. Lynn Ahrens of Schoolhouse Rock fame wrote the original songs for this film, including "Great American Hit," "My City Song," and "Gonna Make My Dreams Come True." ~ All Movie Guide
