Discussion -Consuming Kids
Been a long time fan of the Media Education Foundation. It turns out we can watch their films free if we don’t mind preview-grade low-res. Full length versions are thus available at the MEF website here.
Click onto the site, then go to the little icon below the giant preview pane, and click Consuming Kids, the film under examination on this thread. That opens a window with another preview pane, and a button below it that says “VIEW A FULL-LENGTH PREVIEW.” Click that, and you’re in.
What are your reactions to the film?
Do you take anything new away from the film?
How might you use this film?
Michael Anderson:
We are dealing at present with a family crisis, and the problem is consumption and credit….and the unwillingness to give up neither of them. It can and is taught. Right on, Mr. G. The fall will be hard.
