The Overprotected Kid

New footage from The Land documentary film premiered on The Atlantic online alongside Hanna Rosin's exciting cover story about The Overprotected Kid.  

There are many powerful moments in the article including reflections by Hanna as she watched her young son play at The Land for the first time.  A great read. 

You can find the clip on The Atlantic Video Channel and here:

The Land is a forthcoming documentary film about the nature of play, risk and hazard set in The Land, a Welsh "adventure” playground. Here, children climb trees, light fires and use hammers and nails in a play-space rooted in the belief that kids are empowered when they learn to manage risks on their own. playfreemovie.com
