Taking Chances is a Canadian short educational docudrama film, directed by Robert Lang and released in 1979. [1] The film centres on Leigh and Kathy, teenagers who are conflicted on the question of whether to introduce sex into their relationship. [1]

John Brooke of Cinema Canada praised the film for offering a well-rounded portrait of the conflicting array of messages and social pressures that teenagers face around matters of sex rather than simply moralizing about it. [1]

The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Documentary Under 30 Minutes at the 1st Genie Awards in 1980. [2]
