Why don't we tolerate Free-Range Kids, biking/walking to school as
they did a generation ago, while crime rates continue to fall?<br>
When did a Walk In The Woods become controversial -- and why do we
now have to *pay* for "organized" and sponsored sports to make our
kids play outside?<br>
<br>
Please join us Monday Dec 6th at 7:30pm, for the special showing of:<br>
<br>
Play Again:<br>
What are the consequences of a childhood removed from nature?<br>
<br>
The film showing is in Gloucester, Mass:<br>

<h2>About the Film</h2>
<div style="float: left; width: 45%; margin-right: 3%;">
<p><span lang="ru"><strong>One generation from now</strong> most
people in the U.S. will have spent more time in the virtual
world than in nature. New media technologies have improved our
lives in countless ways. Information now appears with a click.
Overseas friends are part of our daily lives. And even grandma
loves Wii. </span></p>
<p><span lang="ru">But what are we missing when we are behind
screens? And how will this impact our children, our society,
and eventually, our planet?</span></p>
<p><span lang="ru">At a time when children play more behind
screens than outside, </span>PLAY AGAIN<span lang="ru">
explores the changing balance between the virtual and natural
worlds. Is our connection to nature disappearing down the
digital rabbit hole?</span></p>
</div>
<p><span lang="ru">This moving and humorous documentary follows six
teenagers who, like the "average American child," spend five to
fifteen hours a day behind screens. PLAY AGAIN unplugs these
teens and takes them on their first wilderness adventure – no
electricity, no cell phone coverage, no virtual reality.</span></p>
<p><span lang="ru">Through the voices of children and leading
experts including journalist Richard Louv, sociologist Juliet
Schor, environmental writer Bill McKibben, educators Diane Levin
and Nancy Carlsson-Paige, neuroscientist Gary Small, parks
advocate Charles Jordan, and geneticist David Suzuki, </span><span
lang="ru">PLAY AGAIN</span><span lang="ru"> investigates the
consequences of a childhood removed from nature and encourages
action for a sustainable future.</span></p>
