Film – Project Wild Thing coming to Worthing
Worthing is on the map! The Project Wild Thing film is coming to Sussex on 6th March! Project Wild Thing is a movement to get more kids (and their folks!) outside and reconnecting with nature.
The film is a feature-length documentary that takes a funny and revealing look at a complex issue, the increasingly disparate connection between children and nature. The film is being shown at various locations around the country, including Worthing on 6th March 2014.
Project Wild Thing is more than a film, this is a growing movement of organisations and individuals who care deeply about the need for nature connected, free-range, roaming and outdoor playing kids in the 21st century. Hundreds of people have already committed huge amounts of time, energy, resources and money to help get the project where it is today. Which is really just the beginning.
They have also produced a fantastic ap which enables children to use the technology which they love but it provides exciting and stimulating ways for children and their families to connect in the great outdoors. Encouraging people to swap some screen time for some Wild Time! You can download the ap here.
Take a look at the trailer here:
Film contributors include: naturalist CHRIS PACKHAM, Professor AGNES NAIRN, writer and environmentalist GEORGE MONBIOT, scientist JAAK PANKSEPP, writer JAY GRIFFITHS, Professor MICHAEL DEPLEDGE, advertising guru MICHAEL WOLFF, and brain scientist Prof. Baroness SUSAN GREENFIELD.
“A gripping story of the desperate struggle to lead our computer-crazed children back to nature.” – Harry Mount, The Daily Telegraph
