Cutting Edge: The Virgin Daughters
Originally broadcast on September 25, 2008 on Channel 4, UK, 48 min


Cutting Edge explores the purity movement in America, where one girl in every six pledges to remain a virgin, or to save her first kiss, until her wedding day. Award-winning documentary-maker Jane Treays investigates whether this decision is made by the girls themselves or their parents, and follows a group of fathers and daughters as they prepare to attend a ‘purity ball’ in Colorado Springs, run by Randy Wilson and his wife Lisa.’
