Professional Development. 60 minutes.
WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY? examines the dramatic disappearance of play and nature from the daily lives of children. The film explores the impact of isolating environmental factors like sprawl, congestion and endless suburban development on children's mental and physical health and their development. Told largely through the voices of children, WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY? also combines research of urban planners, health experts, educators and environmentalists to explain the realities children face living in three distinct environments: urban centers, suburbs and rural areas.
