Insights are rarely available from people who are on the outside. LOUD Dox is a unique series of documentaries about Australian youth culture made by people who are actually living it. From the streets of the Gold Coast under siege during schoolies week to a rave in the hills, these documentaries deliver a raw slice of youth culture in all its diversity.

  Rage Of Innocence by Nicole McCuaig

 Every year after the HSC, around 40,000 18-year-olds descend onto the streets and beaches of Surfers Paradise. In a parental guidance-free zone, excess is mandatory and partying is the top priority. Seen through the eyes of schoolies past and present, schoolies' week is not just about booze and brawls, but a first chance to experience sexuality and assert your identity without adult supervision.

 Neurodancer by Chris Zwar

 More than 10 years have passed since rave culture began, yet these underground events continue to attract a bevy of enthusiastic participants. Described as tribal, cross-generational, mind-altering, verging on religious and technological experiences, raves are a vivid "90's" subculture. Find out whether raves are a lifestyle, religion, career or just good fun. Basic Equipment by Paul Fenech Hip-hop is where Australia meets American pop culture head on. A combination of music, fashion and art, hip-hop is a way of life for many young urban Australians.

 Everyone wants the best life, everyone wants the BMW and the four storey house. Danny's got it. Tony wants it. Mary wants to understand it. This documentary offers an insight into the business of door to door sales.

 Windows of Opportunity by Tim Mummery

 Armed with buckets and wipers they prey on motorists held captive by the red light. Enter the world of a traffic intersection window washer, who struggles against public opinion and legal hassles to gain a sense of worth.
