Children in the United States can recognize over 100 corporate logos, while they can name fewer than 10 plants.

 

PLAY AGAIN investigates the changing balance between the virtual and natural worlds in childhood today. This documentary explores a culture where children spend more time in front of screens than out in nature.

How does media influence our children? What do we miss when we are in front of screens? How does this imbalance impact the well-being of our children, our society and the very future of our planet?

PLAY AGAIN follows a diverse group of teens to see how these issues are changing our society. Through the voices of children and leading experts in the fields of child development, media literacy and natural sciences, PLAY AGAIN investigates the consequences of a childhood removed from nature.

PLAY AGAIN features among others David Suzuki, Richard Louv, Bill McKibben, Jane Healy, Gary Small, Stephen Kellert, Dilafruz Williams, Diane Levin, Nancy Carlsson-Paige, Charles Jordan, and Susan Linn.

PLAY AGAIN will be made for theatrical release, television broadcast and the educational market.
