Abstract
This paper examines the 1991 educational film Sexuele Voorlichting (Sexual Education), produced by Vlaamse Onderwijs Televisie (VOTV). As a cornerstone of the Belgian secondary school curriculum for over a decade, the film represents a specific sociological approach to sex education characterized by biological determinism and clinical detachment. By analyzing the film’s production context, pedagogical methodology, and its recent resurgence as a digital artifact (commonly file-shared as sexuele voorlichting 1991 belgiummp4l fixed 2021), this study explores how educational media reflects the moral landscape of its time and how internet culture preserves and repurposes "lost" media.
