16 In Webster Groves | 16 In Webster Groves was a 1966 award-winning documentary one-hour TV special produced by CBS News focusing on the experiences of adolescents growing up and living in Webster Groves , Missouri , United States . Produced by Arthur Barron and narrated by Charles Kuralt , the program was inspired by a survey conducted by the University of Chicago . It showed the middle-American , middle-class town to be a superficially friendly , prosperous , progressive , religious , charitable , arts-and-education oriented bedroom community whose adolescent culture , with the complicity ( and , by inference , example and encouragement ) of the adult population , was in fact clique-ridden , status-oriented , hypercompetitive , hypocritical , prejudiced , and materialistic . In stark contrast to the popular view in the mid-1960s that young people were rebelling against the values of their parents , the program depicted the Webster Groves teenagers as unimaginative and conformist . One sixteen-year-old girl , for example , declares that her dream is to live in a house down the street from the one she lives in now . That interview , and others with a cross section of sixteen-year-olds in the community , including minorities and exchange students , and consensual filming of their normal activities , both in school and at recreation , provided the content of the program . A 2006 retrospective article in the local newspaper Riverfront Times indicated that , after the documentary aired , many the town 's citizens felt that their community had been unfairly portrayed . For example , when the documentary showed students running away from school in an apparent eagerness to leave , it was not mentioned that they were actually rushing out to see the CBS helicopter . Another time when the students were all portrayed as depressed , the real reason for that depression was not mentioned ( the funeral of a popular student ) .
