I have just picked up on the documentary now out at the movies “I am eleven” that poses this question to 11 year olds around the world. Why 11? I think Genevieve Bailey thought 11 years of age is a unique period where young people are not quite teenagers yet have views worth hearing for its their world to inherit.
I’m not sure if the excursion budget for our senior year 5/6 students will stretch to include this “event” so at this point I’m encouraging parents to take their senior aged primary school students to see the film – first posing the title question to their children.
What a cool idea. Hope it comes to NZ too!!
