Children's Museum Features Free Screening of The Land: Film and Talk

THE LAND
A Film and Conversation About Risk and Adventure Play
Thursday, October 22 | 6:30 - 8:00 PM

Rhode Island PBS and the RI PBS Kids Club are pleased to share the following information:

Providence Children’s Museum and Providence Children’s Film Festival present the Providence premiere of “The Land” – a 2015 documentary short film about the nature of play and risk – on Thursday, October 22 from 6:30 - 8:00 PM at Providence Children’s Museum (100 South Street in Providence).

The film is set in The Land, a Welsh adventure playground where children climb trees, light fires and use hammers and nails.  It’s a playspace rooted in the belief that kids are empowered and understand their own capabilities and limits when they learn to manage risks on their own.  The film has attracted national attention after being featured in a number of recent articles including “The Overprotected Kid,” a provocative piece in The Atlantic by Hanna Rosin.

A lively conversation about the film, adventure play and the benefits of risk to kids’ physical and emotional development will follow the screening.  Discuss ways to foster healthy risk-taking in kids’ play, and how to provide kids with opportunities for adventure play with panelists Erin Davis, “The Land” filmmaker; Michele Meek, filmmaker and educator; and Janice O’Donnell, Providence PlayCorps director.

The screening and conversation are part of Providence Children’s Museum’s commitment to advocate for and raise awareness about the critical importance of self-directed play for children’s healthy growth and development.

The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited.  Please RSVP at www.ChildrenMuseum.org/TheLand.asp.
