Chasing Childhood

CCF2021

A look at childhood and parenting in the 21st century with a welcome focus on the children, CHASING CHILDHOOD explores the sacrifices in autonomy and independence and their deleterious effect on our nation's youth. The rigorous pursuit of perfectionism has led to over-scheduled and anxious youth, with our technology-based impulses influencing us all in unforeseen and unseeable ways. Challenging modern suppositions, this doc explores the intersections of safety, autonomy, and responsibility, raising difficult questions without easy answers.
