One generation from now most people in the U.S. will have spent more time in the virtual world than in nature. New media technologies have improved our lives in countless ways. Information now appears with a click. Overseas friends are part of our daily lives. And even grandma loves Wii.
But what are we missing when we are behind screens? And how will this impact our children, our society, and eventually, our planet?
At a time when children play more behind screens than outside, PLAY AGAIN explores the changing balance between the virtual and natural worlds. Is our connection to nature disappearing down the digital rabbit hole?
This emotionally moving and humorous documentary follows six teenagers who, like the 'average American child,' spend five to fifteen hours a day behind screens. PLAY AGAIN unplugs these teens and takes them on their first wilderness adventure - no electricity, no cell phone coverage, no virtual reality.
Through the voices of children and leading experts including journalist Richard Louv, sociologist Juliet Schor, environmental writer Bill McKibben, educators Diane Levin and Nancy Carlsson-Paige, neuroscientist Gary Small, parks advocate Charles Jordan, and geneticist David Suzuki, PLAY AGAIN investigates the consequences of a childhood removed from nature and encourages action for a sustainable future.
This is "the new edition".
'Play Again vividly demonstrates the damage that ungoverned electronic media is doing to children. By drawing kids away from the natural world and face-to-face contact with other people, excessive screen time is preventing them from learning the skills and dispositions required to interact with the real as opposed to virtual worlds.' Greg Smith, Professor of Teacher Education, Graduate School of Education and Counseling, Lewis and Clark College, Author, Place-Based Education: Learning to Be Where We Are
'It is a powerful film, revealing that we are allowing our young people to be so profoundly disconnected from the natural world and denying them the opportunity to fully develop their senses. How uplifting to see these young adults grow before our eyes under the nurturing and stimulating effects of their wilderness experience. We are left with the redeeming message that it is not too late! We can and must unplug our children, give them the access to the natural world that is so essential to their development, and restore childhood!' Robin Mann, President, The Sierra Club
'A provocative film. Using the children's own words and experiences, Play Again makes a well articulated argument for the importance of providing children with opportunities for creative play in nature.' Bora Simmons, Director, National Project for Excellence in Environmental Education, University of Oregon
'Play Again is a giant step in the movement for reintroducing children to the benefits of play and nature and alerting adults to the health, learning, and developmental consequences of their absence. Active play and work in nature builds brains and bodies and lays the experiential foundations for later learning.' Joe Frost, Professor Emeritus, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Texas, Author, A History of Children's Play and Play Environments: Toward a Contemporary Child Saving Movement
'The film tells its story effectively by letting children speak...The focus remains on contemporary children's experience in their own words...Play Again can serve as a compelling catalyst for discussion and action to limit both screen time and the commercialization of childhood and to increase children's free play outdoors and access to nature--not just through distant wilderness adventures but also through schoolyard gardens and nearby nature in neighborhoods.' Louise Chawla, University of Colorado, Children, Youth and Environments Journal
'Each of this young people is brought on a wilderness adventure--no electricity, cell phone coverage, video games or virtual reality. the result is a journey to discover just what is missing in our modern, technology saturated life; how can it be reacquired, and how can an appreciable, healthy balance between natural and digital worlds be found? Play Again is an excellent and thought-provoking evaluation of how to promote a biologically and spiritually sustainable future for the next generation.' The Midwest Book Review
'Exceptional...Fascinating viewing...Play Again is unique in that it makes a strong connection between excessive media viewing and environmental degradation in that media viewing increases consumption and consumption has damaging effects on the environment. The film is consistently compelling in both the story of the teenagers and the interviews with media experts.' Tom Ipri, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Educational Media Reviews Online
'A festival of wisdom!' Bill Bigelow, Rethinking Schools
'Pose[s] a crucial question: Will children raised without contact with the natural world work to protect it?..demonstrates[s] the essential fact that the risks of raising a generation of children away from nature are much larger--for the young, society, and the planet--than those that await them in the great outdoors.' Sacha Vignieri, Science Magazine
'Instead of making a hysterical film about the loss of childhood, Schei's insightful interviews with education leaders and environmental thinkers like Juliet Schor and Bill McKibben offer perspective on how we can combat media overload and addictive technological behaviors in young people.' Brittany Shoot, Bitch Magazine
'I believe this is one of the great challenges facing us today. The consequences of our estrangement from nature will be devastating for us as individuals and for society. Well done and may your film have a big impact!' David Suzuki, world-renowned Canadian science broadcaster, geneticist, and author, The Sacred Balance
'I watched a scary movie the other night...[The movie] asks the question, What are the consequences of a childhood removed from nature? Those consequences, both as lived out in real time by real teenagers and as played out into the future by experts, truly are frightening. The film powerfully brings viewers into the digital, commercially produced worlds increasingly inhabited by teenagers...[Play Again] makes a strong case for 'green time' instead of 'screen time.' Expert commentators and troubling statistics convincingly argue that while our children are learning to navigate a virtual world, they are losing crucial human connections to the natural world--and that these connections matter for them, for the health and well-being of society, and for the future of the planet.' Kristen Laine, Appalachian Mountain Club, Great Kids, Great Outdoors blog
'The film captures the helplessness of a generation hooked on virtual life, and the freedom the children taste when that cord is cut, even momentarily. Interspersed between the kids' adventures, we hear from an impressive lineup of leading experts on childhood play, the neurology of screen-play, wilderness education, nature deficit disorder and childhood creativity.' Tobin Hack, Portland Tribune
'I loved every minute of your film! We have so much work ahead of us, and our success depends on all of us being able to collaborate with a shared sense of mission and value.' Michael Mitrani, Earth Island Institute
'Watching your film was a pretty emotional experience for me. As an outdoor educator I've tried for years to explain why my work is so important. I've been wishing for a long time for a film that got to the root of these issues. A heartfelt thank you.' Zak Klein, Bay Area Wilderness Training
'We are thrilled to be able to screen Play Again...It looks at how we are raising the next generation to be involved or sadly, not involved, in the planet's struggles. By showing parents and other film goers the benefits of unplugging their kids, hopefully we will help hatch the next generation of Artivists.' Diaky Diaz, Founder, Executive Producer, Artivist Film Festival
'Thank you for making a film that inspires everyone, but judges no one.' A young biologist and gamer, Orem, Utah
'I approached my son's school board about using Play Again as the theme for next years' curriculum. Thank you for your curriculum ideas - it passed unanimously!' Kirsten, Washington
'I cried through the whole film...Play Again is the leading edge of our time and gets to the crux of the issues.' Annie, high school teacher, San Francisco, CA
'Don't get me wrong, I love my virtual time...but I have to remember that the real connection has to come first. And foremost. And if I want connection with my kids down the road, that connection needs to be established first...I highly recommend every parent watch this film. And I recommend also that every teen and pre-teen watch it with them...It's a really insightful and informative film and I think it allows the viewer to form their own judgment--not about others but about themselves and their own behavior.' Slow Family Living
'This film powerfully illustrates what happens when children today are no longer going out into nature; it is shocking when even the image of a flower is no longer recognized!' Her Royal Highness Princess Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld of the Netherlands

00:00:09.367 --> 00:00:11.967
- Human history, like,
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.300
seems pretty grounded
in defeating,
00:00:15.333 --> 00:00:18.767
like, the natural challenges.
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.967
So being, like,
connected with nature,
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.467
like, to the point
where you feel,
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:25.800
like, tied to it in a way
00:00:25.833 --> 00:00:27.400
doesn\'t seem essential.
00:00:27.433 --> 00:00:29.433
I don\'t think
it should be seen as,
00:00:29.467 --> 00:00:31.600
like, something
of cultural importance.
00:00:31.633 --> 00:00:33.900
I don\'t know that anything
should be seen as,
00:00:33.933 --> 00:00:38.733
like, a matter
of cultural importance,
00:00:38.767 --> 00:00:41.733
because, like,
cultural importance
00:00:41.767 --> 00:00:44.233
is something that should
be defined by,
00:00:44.267 --> 00:00:46.733
like, the situation of the day.
00:00:46.767 --> 00:00:49.233
Like, what is important
to us, me,
00:00:49.267 --> 00:00:51.233
belonging
to this group of people
00:00:51.267 --> 00:00:55.067
who live here
and have this circumstance?
00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:56.900
Like, it shouldn\'t...
00:00:56.933 --> 00:00:58.900
There should be nothing,
like, so intrinsic
00:00:58.933 --> 00:01:02.133
that it can\'t be ignored
or changed,
00:01:02.167 --> 00:01:03.367
not even connection to nature,
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.000
not even connection
to the world we live in.
00:01:20.167 --> 00:01:22.467
[children shouting]
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.967
- The landscape of childhood
has changed.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.300
- Time and space
are all being redefined.
00:01:32.333 --> 00:01:34.800
- This is
a very large experiment
00:01:34.833 --> 00:01:38.300
that we\'re enacting
as a society.
00:01:38.333 --> 00:01:42.167
We don\'t understand
what the consequences are.
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.300
- Startling new research
00:01:48.333 --> 00:01:50.633
reveals how too much time
in front of the screen
00:01:50.667 --> 00:01:52.633
can actually lead
to long-term health effects.
00:01:52.667 --> 00:01:55.633
- Video games
have mind-blowing capabilities
00:01:55.667 --> 00:01:58.633
that can literally transport you
into an alternate world.
00:01:58.667 --> 00:02:00.700
- Tweens and teens now spend
00:02:00.733 --> 00:02:03.367
over seven and a half hours
every day
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.700
watching or listening to media.
00:02:05.733 --> 00:02:10.567
- What are you missing
when you are looking at screens?
00:02:44.567 --> 00:02:46.900
[electronic whirring]
00:03:15.133 --> 00:03:17.267
- Before now, like,
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:19.600
my relationship
to screens was...
00:03:19.633 --> 00:03:23.267
It was, like, pretty much,
I\'d say, my life.
00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:24.733
I had nothing better to do.
00:03:24.767 --> 00:03:26.567
My main goal after school:
00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:28.900
like, get my homework done
so I can play games.
00:03:28.933 --> 00:03:31.200
That was pretty much
the goal of every day.
00:03:36.067 --> 00:03:38.333
- When I first got to Portland,
00:03:38.367 --> 00:03:40.500
I really didn\'t like school.
00:03:40.533 --> 00:03:41.700
I would go home.
00:03:41.733 --> 00:03:43.400
I would start the Xbox up,
and I would, like,
00:03:43.433 --> 00:03:46.400
just totally, like,
play for four hours.
00:03:46.433 --> 00:03:48.567
And I would, like,
focus entirely
00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:49.733
on setting up the strategy,
00:03:49.767 --> 00:03:51.533
setting up the game
the way I wanted.
00:03:51.567 --> 00:03:55.200
Like, I would tune
everything else out.
00:03:55.233 --> 00:03:58.067
And it kind of served
as a coping mechanism.
00:03:58.100 --> 00:04:01.167
[gunfire]
00:04:05.867 --> 00:04:08.033
- Remember that name,
Yayo, n[...].
00:04:08.067 --> 00:04:12.833
[hip-hop music playing]
00:04:12.867 --> 00:04:14.167
- Probably during the day,
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:17.433
I send about, like,
300, 400, 500 text messages,
00:04:17.467 --> 00:04:20.933
but during school,
only about 100.
00:04:20.967 --> 00:04:22.933
Then when I get home, maybe 200,
00:04:22.967 --> 00:04:26.600
but I don\'t really text
in school anymore,
00:04:26.633 --> 00:04:28.000
after I got caught.
00:04:28.033 --> 00:04:31.500
To picture myself without
my phone would be depressing.
00:04:31.533 --> 00:04:35.333
I\'d feel lonely.
00:04:35.367 --> 00:04:37.000
Yep.
00:04:37.033 --> 00:04:39.633
[electronic rumbling]
00:04:39.667 --> 00:04:41.633
- Maximum power!
00:04:41.667 --> 00:04:42.967
- I love video games.
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.567
As soon as I think about it,
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.267
it\'s, like, immediately
I must get my video games.
00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.100
Video games is more entertaining
than playing outside for me
00:04:51.133 --> 00:04:52.600
because when I play video games,
00:04:52.633 --> 00:04:54.433
I\'m, like,
in my own little world.
00:04:54.467 --> 00:04:57.033
I control what\'s happening.
00:04:57.067 --> 00:04:58.700
It depends on what my mood is.
00:04:58.733 --> 00:05:00.267
If I\'m, like, in a bad mood,
00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:01.600
I would just
stay on the computer
00:05:01.633 --> 00:05:03.433
as long as possible.
00:05:03.467 --> 00:05:05.107
And then after I\'m done
with the computer,
00:05:05.133 --> 00:05:07.100
I would move on to the TV.
00:05:07.133 --> 00:05:10.567
[lively percussion]
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.533
- You want to be on top?
00:05:14.567 --> 00:05:17.367
Wanna be on top?
00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:19.367
- I think I use screens
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:22.833
probably, um,
the majority of my day.
00:05:22.867 --> 00:05:25.500
Maybe I\'m off
two or three hours a day,
00:05:25.533 --> 00:05:28.433
probably either sleeping
or at the park or something,
00:05:28.467 --> 00:05:31.267
but that\'s not very,
you know, common.
00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:33.033
It\'s pretty rare.
00:05:33.067 --> 00:05:34.867
- It\'s basically
the same thing for me or...
00:05:34.900 --> 00:05:36.267
And even when
I\'m with my friends,
00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:38.433
it\'s, like, we just do
the same thing.
00:05:38.467 --> 00:05:40.100
We\'re, like, on the computer,
00:05:40.133 --> 00:05:41.900
or unless we go to the park
or something,
00:05:41.933 --> 00:05:44.233
and even then we\'re, like,
on our cell phones or something.
00:05:44.267 --> 00:05:45.333
- Yeah.
00:05:45.367 --> 00:05:47.000
- He got burned, baby,
in the fire.
00:05:47.033 --> 00:05:48.167
- It was like a drug.
00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:49.500
It was addicting.
00:05:49.533 --> 00:05:52.333
And it was good,
but I didn\'t know...
00:05:52.367 --> 00:05:54.000
I didn\'t have
the knowledge to know
00:05:54.033 --> 00:05:57.333
that it was kind of
actually destroying me
00:05:57.367 --> 00:05:58.900
from the inside.
00:05:58.933 --> 00:06:00.800
I guess I was more
of on the point of, like,
00:06:00.833 --> 00:06:03.933
just, you know,
what\'s the point of life?
00:06:03.967 --> 00:06:07.833
There\'s no...
There\'s no point in this.
00:06:07.867 --> 00:06:10.000
I had no great ambitions.
00:06:10.033 --> 00:06:12.167
Because, like,
now I want to be a Navy Seal.
00:06:12.200 --> 00:06:17.000
And I made that decision about
less than a year ago, actually.
00:06:17.033 --> 00:06:19.167
I looked up to
a lot of people in games.
00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:21.000
Like, there\'s
a lot of fictional characters
00:06:21.033 --> 00:06:23.667
that I really...
Like soldiers,
00:06:23.700 --> 00:06:25.233
like, I don\'t know,
like Solid Snake.
00:06:25.267 --> 00:06:27.400
He was, like,
the best soldier ever,
00:06:27.433 --> 00:06:29.067
and I really wanted
to be like him.
00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:33.167
- Sounds like
the perfect job for me.
00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:36.167
- Snake, I\'m counting on you.
00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:37.833
[gunfire]
00:06:37.867 --> 00:06:41.100
- Counter-Terrorists win!
00:06:41.133 --> 00:06:42.600
- All right.
00:06:42.633 --> 00:06:44.200
Died, like, five times.
00:06:44.233 --> 00:06:47.700
That\'s, like, 50.
00:06:47.733 --> 00:06:50.400
Three, four...
00:06:54.100 --> 00:06:55.733
[laughs]
00:06:55.767 --> 00:06:59.233
That\'s why I don\'t like to die.
00:06:59.267 --> 00:07:00.833
- The current game
that I play the most,
00:07:00.867 --> 00:07:04.333
I play it, one, because
it\'s a real-time strategy.
00:07:04.367 --> 00:07:06.800
I like it because
everything\'s kind of fair
00:07:06.833 --> 00:07:09.300
within the context
of understanding.
00:07:09.333 --> 00:07:12.833
It\'s a game that rewards
intelligent play.
00:07:12.867 --> 00:07:15.167
I come in with that attitude,
and I\'m successful.
00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:16.333
I\'m very successful.
00:07:16.367 --> 00:07:17.833
I play that very well.
00:07:17.867 --> 00:07:20.333
The other reason I play is,
I play for the people.
00:07:20.367 --> 00:07:23.567
I can talk to anyone
at, like, any time.
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.067
You can meet some, like, pretty,
like, cool, calm,
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:30.167
like, nice-to-be-around people,
like, online.
00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:32.000
I feel much more
well-spoken,
00:07:32.033 --> 00:07:36.000
like, and, like, a lot more,
like, organized in how I think
00:07:36.033 --> 00:07:38.833
and, like,
present to other people
00:07:38.867 --> 00:07:40.600
because of the time
I\'ve spent gaming.
00:07:40.633 --> 00:07:42.267
- Those are my top friends,
00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:45.600
the people I mainly talk to
every day.
00:07:45.633 --> 00:07:48.100
MySpace is like my other family.
00:07:48.133 --> 00:07:51.933
Like, you can just sit there
and talk to anybody you want.
00:07:51.967 --> 00:07:54.433
Sometimes it\'s kind of nice
to talk to somebody
00:07:54.467 --> 00:07:56.100
and learn about
their personality
00:07:56.133 --> 00:07:58.767
before you talk to them
in person,
00:07:58.800 --> 00:07:59.900
because in person,
00:07:59.933 --> 00:08:02.967
they might take you
for something different.
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.800
- I don\'t really agree that
our generation is disconnected,
00:08:05.833 --> 00:08:07.467
because a lot of the time,
00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:09.467
it\'s connecting
with other people.
00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:11.333
You\'re on it
when you can\'t go anywhere,
00:08:11.367 --> 00:08:12.833
when you can\'t,
like, go rock climbing
00:08:12.867 --> 00:08:13.867
or do something fun.
00:08:13.900 --> 00:08:15.467
- Yeah.
00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:17.867
- That\'s when you\'re playing,
like, video games or something,
00:08:17.900 --> 00:08:19.633
when you don\'t want to be bored.
00:08:19.667 --> 00:08:21.500
- It\'s not going
to be Survivor, man.
00:08:21.533 --> 00:08:23.367
Those guys put themselves
through way too much pain.
00:08:23.400 --> 00:08:25.500
You always get to make
your own decisions and choices,
00:08:25.533 --> 00:08:27.167
and there are certain
agreements, though,
00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:29.167
that it would be great
that we can make.
00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:31.367
My one boundary is, no one dies
00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:35.733
and no wounds that don\'t heal
within four days.
00:08:35.767 --> 00:08:38.233
Why are you here, Paige?
00:08:38.267 --> 00:08:42.133
- I\'m here because
this camp sounded exciting.
00:08:42.167 --> 00:08:43.233
- My name\'s Kris.
00:08:43.267 --> 00:08:44.633
I\'m here because
there\'s no reason
00:08:44.667 --> 00:08:45.833
I could think of not to be.
00:08:45.867 --> 00:08:46.933
- I\'m Taylor,
00:08:46.967 --> 00:08:49.100
and I\'m here
because my mom told me
00:08:49.133 --> 00:08:51.100
that I don\'t really
go outside anymore
00:08:51.133 --> 00:08:52.733
because I\'m on my phone.
00:08:52.767 --> 00:08:54.067
- I really wanted
to go to this camp
00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:55.400
because my mom told me about it,
00:08:55.433 --> 00:08:56.633
and I thought it sounded fun.
00:08:56.667 --> 00:08:57.800
- This is really random,
00:08:57.833 --> 00:08:59.433
but I was just talking to Paige
about this.
00:08:59.467 --> 00:09:00.533
But where do we...
00:09:00.567 --> 00:09:02.100
Where are we going to go
to the bathroom?
00:09:02.133 --> 00:09:03.200
Just, like, out in the wild?
00:09:03.233 --> 00:09:05.000
- That\'s a great question.

[exotic percussive music]
00:10:03.900 --> 00:10:05.200
- Xbox.
00:10:05.233 --> 00:10:08.300
- That\'s an Apple sign
from an Apple computer.
00:10:08.333 --> 00:10:09.700
- Nickelodeon.
00:10:09.733 --> 00:10:11.267
- McDonald\'s sign.
00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:13.167
- Xbox 360.
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.233
- A circle for Target.
00:10:16.267 --> 00:10:18.400
- I do not know
what kind they are,
00:10:18.433 --> 00:10:19.867
but I know they\'re plants.
00:10:19.900 --> 00:10:22.900
- [sighs]
00:10:22.933 --> 00:10:25.800
- I\'ve seen those before.
00:10:25.833 --> 00:10:28.100
I can\'t remember
what they\'re called.
00:10:28.133 --> 00:10:29.933
- I don\'t know.
00:10:29.967 --> 00:10:31.833
Flowers.
00:10:31.867 --> 00:10:37.333
- Hello Kitty.
00:10:37.367 --> 00:10:40.000
- Uh, some kind of weed.
00:10:40.033 --> 00:10:42.433
- A wishing flower.
00:10:42.467 --> 00:10:44.633
- A wish flower.
00:10:44.667 --> 00:10:52.133
- A wish flower
that\'s half bloomed.
00:10:52.167 --> 00:10:53.167
- Young people today
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.500
spend the least amount
of time outdoors
00:10:55.533 --> 00:10:58.333
of any generation in history,
00:10:58.367 --> 00:10:59.833
and we revel in the fact
00:10:59.867 --> 00:11:01.900
that they\'ve got
all this information.
00:11:01.933 --> 00:11:05.067
The whole Encyclopedia
Britannica is there.
00:11:05.100 --> 00:11:07.733
The Washington Library
of Congress you can get.
00:11:07.767 --> 00:11:12.767
Anything you want is all there,
except the real world.
00:11:53.633 --> 00:11:55.933
- We\'re hardwired
to need nature.
00:11:55.967 --> 00:11:58.100
We like species
other than our own.
00:11:58.133 --> 00:12:00.467
We like to see
natural landscapes.
00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:01.800
We don\'t do so well
00:12:01.833 --> 00:12:05.167
when we don\'t have
that kind of experience.
00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:09.467
There is risk
00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:12.133
by not allowing kids
to go outside.
00:12:12.167 --> 00:12:15.267
There\'s a risk in
raising a generation of kids
00:12:15.300 --> 00:12:17.767
and future generations
under virtual house arrest,
00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:20.267
a risk to their health,
00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:22.767
to their physical
and psychological health.
00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:25.600
Physicians today,
many of them pediatricians,
00:12:25.633 --> 00:12:27.933
are saying
that the current generation
00:12:27.967 --> 00:12:30.767
may be the first to die earlier
than their own parents.
00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:32.900
Now, that\'s a real risk.
00:12:40.867 --> 00:12:43.500
- Children these days
are more and more disconnected
00:12:43.533 --> 00:12:47.167
from their sense of place
and their sense of community.
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.500
I\'ve never seen children
00:12:48.533 --> 00:12:50.833
with as much knowledge
as they have right now.
00:12:50.867 --> 00:12:53.333
I call it
\"ear-to-ear brilliance.\"
00:12:53.367 --> 00:12:56.000
At the same time,
I see more and more children...
00:12:56.033 --> 00:12:58.967
Because of parents\' fear
and because of the risk
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.867
society has put
on so many activities,
00:13:01.900 --> 00:13:03.200
such as
the bike ride to nowhere,
00:13:03.233 --> 00:13:04.867
building a tree house...
00:13:04.900 --> 00:13:06.867
Who don\'t have
those experiences.
00:13:06.900 --> 00:13:10.300
And my concern is, is those
experiences build confidence.
00:13:10.333 --> 00:13:14.167
They give a sense of worth
and responsibility.
00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:22.267
- Children,
especially young children,
00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:24.100
are concrete learners.
00:13:24.133 --> 00:13:27.767
They learn best
from touching, doing,
00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:30.833
feeling, controlling, mastering.
00:13:30.867 --> 00:13:32.500
What\'s happening now is,
00:13:32.533 --> 00:13:35.800
more and more
of their experience is virtual.
00:13:35.833 --> 00:13:38.967
So the basic,
most fundamental foundation
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.900
that they need
for all later development
00:13:41.933 --> 00:13:43.600
gets undermined.
00:13:53.433 --> 00:13:57.067
I really do worry about
producing a world of robots
00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:58.733
and a world of people
00:13:58.767 --> 00:14:03.300
disconnected from life
and nature and the world.
00:14:03.333 --> 00:14:05.800
And it\'s going to have
a profound impact
00:14:05.833 --> 00:14:08.633
on who we are
and what we become.

00:14:33.833 --> 00:14:37.967
- This could be a social deficit
for us in the future
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.133
that could be really
internally destructive
00:14:40.167 --> 00:14:41.467
to our country.
00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:43.300
We\'re worried about
these external enemies,
00:14:43.333 --> 00:14:46.800
but we may actually
be creating our own undoing
00:14:46.833 --> 00:14:51.267
by cutting our kids off
from the basics.

- It is?
- Yes.
00:15:46.467 --> 00:15:47.867
- Sprinkling.
00:15:47.900 --> 00:15:49.200

00:15:49.233 --> 00:15:51.233
- Yeah.

you can howl like a coyote?

Okay, here we go.
00:16:16.967 --> 00:16:18.400
We\'re gonna howl like a coyote.
00:16:18.433 --> 00:16:20.667
And what we\'re howling to is

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:22.033
So here we go.

00:16:40.767 --> 00:16:42.233
It feels good.
00:16:42.267 --> 00:16:46.500
But if you hear that noise,
it means gather up.
00:16:46.533 --> 00:16:48.833
- This is usnea,
and this is sphagnum moss.
00:16:48.867 --> 00:16:50.500
They are both...
00:16:50.533 --> 00:16:53.367
As you will feel,
one is extremely soft.
00:16:53.400 --> 00:16:55.200
And it works really good
for toilet paper.
00:16:55.233 --> 00:16:57.367
Usnea actually has oils in it
00:16:57.400 --> 00:17:00.267
that are stronger antifungal
and antibacterial
00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:02.767
than penicillin.
00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:04.933

00:17:08.267 --> 00:17:09.367

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.033
- Any kind of instructions
in the bag?
00:17:11.067 --> 00:17:12.867
- Probably not
if this is a used tent.
00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:14.200
- Are there instructions?
00:17:14.233 --> 00:17:15.867
[laughter]
00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:17.867
Okay, I think
this is the bottom.
00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:19.867
- Our first step
is to just build trust
00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:21.267
and figure out what they want.
00:17:21.300 --> 00:17:23.367
- Okay, here\'s...
Does it connect?
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.867
- I hope that they see
that there\'s a potential
00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:29.367
for intense, complex,
adventurous interactions
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:30.867
in the out-of-doors
00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:33.867

00:17:33.900 --> 00:17:36.033

00:17:36.067 --> 00:17:39.567
It\'s about inherent
relationships to the land.
00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:41.600
- What kind of floor space
do we have?
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:48.200
- Yep.
00:17:51.367 --> 00:17:53.467
- I don\'t really miss my phone,
actually.
00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:56.733
It\'s kind of fun being out here.
00:17:56.767 --> 00:17:58.500
It\'s just nice to talk
to somebody in person,
00:17:58.533 --> 00:18:00.133
so where if
you have a problem with them,
00:18:00.167 --> 00:18:02.300
you don\'t have to hang up
the phone on them or something.
00:18:02.333 --> 00:18:03.500
You can just front up to them
00:18:03.533 --> 00:18:05.433
and tell them
you have a problem with them.
00:18:05.467 --> 00:18:07.567
Because I kind of get sick
and tired of fighting over...
00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:09.733
Through the phone or texting
or something like that.
00:18:09.767 --> 00:18:12.067
But I don\'t think there\'s
going to be any fighting,
00:18:12.100 --> 00:18:15.600
so it\'ll be good.
00:18:15.633 --> 00:18:16.933
- This stuff good for anything?
00:18:16.967 --> 00:18:18.600
- That\'s the sphagnum moss.
00:18:18.633 --> 00:18:21.133
- I\'m loading my pockets
full of toilet paper.
00:18:24.867 --> 00:18:26.767
- Grab a stave from here.
00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:30.100
A tap, and that\'s gonna dig down
just a little bit.
00:18:30.133 --> 00:18:35.100
And then I turn...
Turn my knife out like that.
00:18:35.133 --> 00:18:36.933
- It\'s like this.
00:18:36.967 --> 00:18:38.433
- I fell in the river
00:18:38.467 --> 00:18:40.433
when I was trying
to get water, so...
00:18:40.467 --> 00:18:42.533
And then after that, I was,
like, really soggy and wet,
00:18:42.567 --> 00:18:44.167
and it was just
really uncomfortable,
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.333
so I got really homesick.
00:18:45.367 --> 00:18:46.767
I\'m like,
\"Oh, I wish I could be home,
00:18:46.800 --> 00:18:48.367
\"because then I could go
and take a shower
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:49.500
and put dry clothes on.\"
00:18:49.533 --> 00:18:51.667
But here, you know,
I have a limited supply
00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:53.133
of what I can wear and stuff,
00:18:53.167 --> 00:18:55.133
so, you know, I was like...
[groans]
00:18:55.167 --> 00:18:58.133
[saw blade scraping]
00:18:58.167 --> 00:19:01.233
[people speaking indistinctly]
00:19:02.767 --> 00:19:09.867
- When you\'re outside,
it\'s so much more realistic.
00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:11.767
Like, in Call of Duty 3,
00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:13.267
that\'s one game that I play,
00:19:13.300 --> 00:19:17.433
and if you shoot a bow
or anything, you\'ll mostly hit,
00:19:17.467 --> 00:19:19.100
but if you shoot a bow
in reality,
00:19:19.133 --> 00:19:20.767
you\'ll mostly miss.
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:22.133
Unless you have really good aim.
00:19:22.167 --> 00:19:25.933
In, like, video games,
you can\'t sleep outside.
00:19:25.967 --> 00:19:28.333
- Slow breaths.
00:19:28.367 --> 00:19:30.167
Yeah!
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:32.667
- Super thick.
00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:34.800
- I would have never thought...
00:19:34.833 --> 00:19:35.833
- This is a great fire.
00:19:35.867 --> 00:19:38.533
- Yeah, it\'s a great fire.
00:19:42.867 --> 00:19:45.000
- Kris, man.
- Yeah?
00:19:45.033 --> 00:19:46.667
- [speaking indistinctly]
00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:51.100
- I like what we\'ve been doing,
but it\'s exhausting.
00:19:51.133 --> 00:19:54.833
Some physical effort,
which, you know, it\'s fine,
00:19:54.867 --> 00:19:58.500
but it\'s, like,
makes you feel totally,
00:19:58.533 --> 00:20:01.000
like, out of it after it all.
00:20:01.033 --> 00:20:05.900
And then there\'s these bugs,
these damn white bugs.
00:20:05.933 --> 00:20:08.233
If I had, like, just a nice can
00:20:08.267 --> 00:20:10.733
of, like, spray-on,
like, annihilation,
00:20:10.767 --> 00:20:12.233
it\'d just be perfect,
00:20:12.267 --> 00:20:15.200
just spray it into the air,
kill all of them.
00:20:15.233 --> 00:20:17.200
- Okay, you ready
to teach us a song?
00:20:17.233 --> 00:20:19.200
- [singing]
A Pizza Hut, a Pizza Hut.
00:20:19.233 --> 00:20:21.000
Kentucky Fried Chicken
and a Pizza Hut.
00:20:21.033 --> 00:20:22.667
A Pizza Hut, a Pizza Hut.
00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:24.233
Kentucky Fried Chicken
and a Pizza.
00:20:24.267 --> 00:20:25.900
McDonald\'s, McDonald\'s,
00:20:25.933 --> 00:20:27.467
Kentucky Fried Chicken
and a Pizza Hut.
00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:28.967
Burger King, a Burger King,
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.600
a Taco Bell and a Burger King.
00:20:30.633 --> 00:20:31.733
Burger King, a Burger King,
00:20:31.767 --> 00:20:33.400
a Taco Bell and a Burger King.
00:20:33.433 --> 00:20:35.067
Red Lobster, Red Lobster,
00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:36.567
a Taco Bell and a Burger King.
00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:38.067
Red Lobster, Red Lobster,
00:20:38.100 --> 00:20:39.867
a Taco Bell and a Burger King.
00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:44.467
[peaceful guitar music]
00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:47.500
[indistinct speaking
and laughter]
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.700
- Good night, folks.
00:20:55.733 --> 00:20:58.733
Don\'t forget
to brush your teeth.
00:21:04.300 --> 00:21:06.733
- I don\'t get how
the guys get this huge tent,
00:21:06.767 --> 00:21:08.400
and there\'s, like, four of them.
00:21:08.433 --> 00:21:10.533
And we get this tiny tent,
and there\'s three of us,
00:21:10.567 --> 00:21:11.567
and girls need more space.
00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:13.100
- Girls need space.
00:21:13.133 --> 00:21:16.133
[laughter]
00:21:22.100 --> 00:21:23.533
- I brought
a pound of beef jerky.
00:21:23.567 --> 00:21:24.567
- Holy cow.
00:21:24.600 --> 00:21:26.733
- What?
A pound of beef jerky?
00:21:26.767 --> 00:21:28.567
- I brought two.
00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:31.400
- A pound of beef jerky?
00:21:31.433 --> 00:21:33.133
- That\'s just insane!
00:21:33.167 --> 00:21:34.700
- Okay,
I\'ve never been in a tent,
00:21:34.733 --> 00:21:37.200
but I\'m really excited
because...
00:21:37.233 --> 00:21:38.867
I don\'t know.
It\'s just kind of exciting.
00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:40.067
It\'s a new experience.
00:21:40.100 --> 00:21:41.733
And I don\'t even really know
what to expect,
00:21:41.767 --> 00:21:42.967
like, if I\'m gonna get cold
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.733
or if the tent\'s
gonna blow over or something
00:21:44.767 --> 00:21:46.000
in the middle of the night.
00:21:46.033 --> 00:21:47.600
- It won\'t blow over
with all of us in it.
00:21:47.633 --> 00:21:49.867
- But I think it\'s pretty cool.
00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:53.167
- Warning,
beware of the tent exploding.
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.200
- Wait, what?
00:21:54.233 --> 00:21:55.367
There\'s a warning that says
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.033
the tent may collapse
in your corner?
00:21:57.067 --> 00:21:58.533
- Yes.
00:21:58.567 --> 00:22:00.533
- Sorry about my feet
in your face.
00:22:00.567 --> 00:22:01.600
- \"Today was awesome.
00:22:01.633 --> 00:22:03.100
\"It was very exciting
to drive here
00:22:03.133 --> 00:22:05.033
\"and just know that
you\'re going to be somewhere
00:22:05.067 --> 00:22:07.467
\"and stay with people
that you don\'t even know
00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:10.133
\"and be somewhere
without electricity.
00:22:10.167 --> 00:22:11.533
\"It was a challenge at first,
00:22:11.567 --> 00:22:13.200
\"but I don\'t even care
right now.
00:22:13.233 --> 00:22:16.367
I\'m just having a great time
with everyone.\"
00:22:19.300 --> 00:22:21.533
- Right now
we have a very exciting time
00:22:21.567 --> 00:22:25.600
where there\'s
this flood of technologies
00:22:25.633 --> 00:22:28.300
that have really empowered us
in our lives,
00:22:28.333 --> 00:22:30.633
but they\'re also
having an effect.
00:22:30.667 --> 00:22:31.967
It\'s not all good.
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.300
It\'s not all bad.
00:22:33.333 --> 00:22:35.133
But there are
significant brain effects,
00:22:35.167 --> 00:22:36.467
and I think
it\'s important for us
00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:37.967
to understand those effects
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.933
and make decisions
that enhance our lives.
00:22:40.967 --> 00:22:43.767
The brain
is a very sensitive organ.
00:22:43.800 --> 00:22:45.100
From moment to moment,
00:22:45.133 --> 00:22:49.600
every sensory stimulus
triggers a cascade
00:22:49.633 --> 00:22:53.400
of neurochemical
and electrical events.
00:22:53.433 --> 00:22:56.733
When we spend time
in a repeated mental task,
00:22:56.767 --> 00:22:59.733
we think that
the neural circuits
00:22:59.767 --> 00:23:03.633
that control that task,
in a sense, become strengthened,
00:23:03.667 --> 00:23:05.967
and we find that
we have an addiction,
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.200
a technology addiction,
00:23:07.233 --> 00:23:10.533
that\'s very similar
to an eating addiction,
00:23:10.567 --> 00:23:12.200
a drinking addiction,
a drug addiction,
00:23:12.233 --> 00:23:13.433
anything like that.
00:23:13.467 --> 00:23:16.600
Now, a young brain
is particularly sensitive
00:23:16.633 --> 00:23:18.933
to whatever we expose it to,
00:23:18.967 --> 00:23:21.667
whether it\'s technology
or nature.
00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:24.100
- Computers, smartphones,
television.
00:23:24.133 --> 00:23:26.933
24-hour media access
has changed the way
00:23:26.967 --> 00:23:28.733
young people entertain
themselves.
00:23:28.767 --> 00:23:30.733
- According to
the Kaiser Family Foundation,
00:23:30.767 --> 00:23:32.467
8- to 18-year-olds
00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:35.967
spend an average of 7 hours
and 30 minutes each day
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.367
either online, watching TV,
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:39.967
playing video games, texting.
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:41.633
- And with
so many media platforms
00:23:41.667 --> 00:23:43.033
to choose from now,
00:23:43.067 --> 00:23:45.867
there are more opportunities
for media multitasking.
00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:47.367
That means kids
are packing a total
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:50.033
of almost 11 hours\' worth
of media content
00:23:50.067 --> 00:23:52.700
into those 7 1/2 hours a day.
00:23:52.733 --> 00:23:54.700
- The researchers
found that kids do cut back
00:23:54.733 --> 00:23:56.533
when parents make rules.
00:23:56.567 --> 00:23:59.267
And there\'s another
parental influence to consider:
00:23:59.300 --> 00:24:00.400
their example.
00:24:00.433 --> 00:24:02.233
A separate study
by the Nielsen Company
00:24:02.267 --> 00:24:04.133
found that adults
in their early 40s
00:24:04.167 --> 00:24:06.033
spend even more time
watching online videos
00:24:06.067 --> 00:24:08.067
than teens do.
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.633
- The influence of the media
00:24:11.667 --> 00:24:15.300
and the influence
of the virtual world
00:24:15.333 --> 00:24:17.800
while in and of itself
may not be bad,
00:24:17.833 --> 00:24:21.367
when that becomes the framework
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.400
through which kids
are experiencing life
00:24:25.433 --> 00:24:29.867
and then the expectation
that that\'s the norm
00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:32.933
and everything else
should fit that norm,
00:24:32.967 --> 00:24:37.367
I think that
is where the problem lies.
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:39.133
- Right now
in the United States,
00:24:39.167 --> 00:24:41.967
we have about 5 million people
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.633
that are playing
computer games 45 hours a week.
00:24:45.667 --> 00:24:49.633
That is very much
a substitution for real life.
00:24:49.667 --> 00:24:54.633
Those are 45 hours they don\'t
have to spend at work,
00:24:54.667 --> 00:24:58.500
at school, with real people.
00:25:00.367 --> 00:25:02.833
The more enmeshed
the two worlds become,
00:25:02.867 --> 00:25:05.600
the harder it is to draw a line.
00:25:05.633 --> 00:25:10.100
- Many, many of these games
are violent, sexist, racist.
00:25:10.133 --> 00:25:11.267
- For a spanking.
00:25:11.300 --> 00:25:12.433
- Oh, s[...]!
- Check this out.
00:25:12.467 --> 00:25:14.900
- That was not so smart.
00:25:14.933 --> 00:25:17.733
- It\'s removed kids
from a child environment.
00:25:17.767 --> 00:25:21.067
- I blame society.
00:25:21.100 --> 00:25:23.400
- [grunts]
00:25:23.433 --> 00:25:24.900
Oh, now...
00:25:24.933 --> 00:25:28.900
- Pleasure doing business
with you.
00:25:28.933 --> 00:25:32.233
Marquis of Queensberry rules
only, baby.
00:25:32.267 --> 00:25:36.267
- The value of human life
is going down, I think.
00:25:36.300 --> 00:25:39.100
Nowadays, like,
taking of a life,
00:25:39.133 --> 00:25:41.300
it\'s one point;
it\'s ten points.
00:25:41.333 --> 00:25:43.800
Maybe even that\'s why
I want to join the military,
00:25:43.833 --> 00:25:47.633
because I\'m so familiar,
I guess,
00:25:47.667 --> 00:25:50.467
with, like, combat stuff.
00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:52.633
I don\'t know a kid that
doesn\'t know how to shoot a gun,
00:25:52.667 --> 00:25:56.633
actually,
now that I think about it.
00:25:56.667 --> 00:26:00.900
Parents got to know
when it\'s going too far.
00:26:15.333 --> 00:26:17.800
- A recent study looked at
the ability of young people
00:26:17.833 --> 00:26:22.800
to recognize the emotional
expression of a face,
00:26:22.833 --> 00:26:25.200
and they found
that their ability
00:26:25.233 --> 00:26:26.367
to quickly recognize
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.333
whether it was a happy face
or an angry face
00:26:29.367 --> 00:26:30.667
was affected by whether
00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:32.633
they had played video games
or not.
00:26:32.667 --> 00:26:34.633
Particularly,
violent video games
00:26:34.667 --> 00:26:37.633
seemed to take away
their ability
00:26:37.667 --> 00:26:39.333
to recognize a happy face.
00:26:39.367 --> 00:26:40.667
So the concern is,
00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:43.000
when we\'re firing up
all these neural circuits
00:26:43.033 --> 00:26:45.800
that help us control
this technology,
00:26:45.833 --> 00:26:47.700
what neural circuits
are we neglecting?
00:26:47.733 --> 00:26:51.967
This is a basic human ability,
what defines our humanity,
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.700
our ability to sit down
and talk to each other
00:26:54.733 --> 00:26:57.267
and express emotion,
00:26:57.300 --> 00:27:00.067
feeling, ideas,
in a very subtle way.
00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:01.500
What will the world be like
00:27:01.533 --> 00:27:04.300
when we don\'t have
those abilities?
00:27:14.133 --> 00:27:15.267
- [singing] The flower said,
00:27:15.300 --> 00:27:16.767
\"I wish I was a tree.\"
00:27:16.800 --> 00:27:21.267
The tree said, \"I wish I could
be a different kind of tree.\"
00:27:21.300 --> 00:27:23.767
The cat wished
that it was a bee.
00:27:23.800 --> 00:27:27.167
The turtle said,
\"I wish that I could fly
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.667
\"really high into the sky,
over rooftops,
00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:33.500
and then dive
into the sea.\"
00:27:33.533 --> 00:27:36.000
And in the sea there was a fish,
00:27:36.033 --> 00:27:38.567
a fish that had a secret wish,
00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:40.733
a wish to be a big...
00:27:40.767 --> 00:27:42.067
- Catfish.
00:27:42.100 --> 00:27:43.733
- Catfish?
00:27:43.767 --> 00:27:45.900
Cactus.
00:27:45.933 --> 00:27:47.233
[resumes singing]
A big cactus
00:27:47.267 --> 00:27:49.067
with a pink flower on it,
00:27:49.100 --> 00:27:54.933
and the flower
would be in suffering of...
00:27:54.967 --> 00:27:56.100
both: Love.
00:27:56.133 --> 00:28:01.500
- [resumes singing]
Love to the desert.
00:28:01.533 --> 00:28:04.300
[girls cheering]
00:28:04.333 --> 00:28:05.500
- You can sing good.
00:28:05.533 --> 00:28:07.133
- You should teach me
how to play that song.
00:28:07.167 --> 00:28:08.167
- So this is C.
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.700
So just that one and that one.
00:28:10.733 --> 00:28:11.833
[ukulele strumming]
00:28:11.867 --> 00:28:13.500
Yeah, it was C, G,
and then there was...
00:28:13.533 --> 00:28:14.667
- Wait, so it\'s this one?
00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:16.333
- That\'s G.
00:28:16.367 --> 00:28:17.667
- This is C or...
- That one.
00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:20.833
- Feathers are right here,
big colorful pile.
00:28:20.867 --> 00:28:24.667
- No, I was gonna just
start it from the...
00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:27.667
- But first I got to do
some initial cuts.
00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.800
- I don\'t have a string.
00:28:28.833 --> 00:28:29.833
Where\'d the string go?
00:28:29.867 --> 00:28:33.500
- Yeah, that\'s good.
00:28:33.533 --> 00:28:37.500
- That\'s how it should be.
00:28:37.533 --> 00:28:38.833
- And you want to put it
00:28:38.867 --> 00:28:40.500
a little bit further
from the end,
00:28:40.533 --> 00:28:42.833
unless you\'re starting with
the back of the feather first.
00:28:42.867 --> 00:28:44.500
- At home,
how I feel about myself,
00:28:44.533 --> 00:28:48.333
sometimes I feel like
you\'re always looking across...
00:28:48.367 --> 00:28:50.033
I don\'t know if this
is the right metaphor...
00:28:50.067 --> 00:28:52.367
But, like,
across the river or wherever
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:54.967
to what someone else has.
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:56.640
- I just feel, like,
way more comfortable.
00:28:56.667 --> 00:28:58.200
Like, everybody\'s just,
like, chill.
00:28:58.233 --> 00:29:01.667
And, like, you don\'t have to
worry about looking your best.
00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:03.667
- No, you\'re holding it under.
Hold it on top.
00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:05.400
- I know, I\'m just getting it...
The bow set up.
00:29:05.433 --> 00:29:07.000
You kind of have to start
00:29:07.033 --> 00:29:08.500
thinking about
your inner beauty,
00:29:08.533 --> 00:29:10.300
because I know before, I was...
00:29:10.333 --> 00:29:11.833
You know,
I had mirrors to check myself
00:29:11.867 --> 00:29:13.233
and make sure I looked okay,
00:29:13.267 --> 00:29:15.300
and then I was like, \"Okay,
well, I look pretty today,\"
00:29:15.333 --> 00:29:16.767
so I\'d be a little bit
more confident.
00:29:16.800 --> 00:29:18.367
That\'s the kind of thing
that me and Paige
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:19.567
kind of struggle with at home,
00:29:19.600 --> 00:29:21.367
making sure that we look, like,
you know, okay,
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:22.667
because we don\'t
want to, like...
00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:24.133
You know?
Kind of get what I\'m saying?
00:29:24.167 --> 00:29:25.467
Like, we like...
00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:26.633
It\'s kind of hard to explain.
00:29:26.667 --> 00:29:27.667
Here you just have a chance
00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:29.100
to have conversations
with people,
00:29:29.133 --> 00:29:30.600
and you know
they\'re not going to be,
00:29:30.633 --> 00:29:32.933
you know, judging you
or things like that, you know?
00:29:32.967 --> 00:29:33.967
And as opposed to MySpace,
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.400
you still get connected
with people
00:29:35.433 --> 00:29:37.800
but not quite in the same way.
00:29:37.833 --> 00:29:39.467
- Let go with those fingers.
00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:41.200
Yeah!
There you go.
00:29:41.233 --> 00:29:43.100
- Everybody\'s going to get it
except for me.
00:29:43.133 --> 00:29:44.133
- It could be your bow.
00:29:44.167 --> 00:29:45.167
Can I try it?
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:46.200
- No, it\'s not my bow.
00:29:46.233 --> 00:29:47.233
It\'s just I can\'t do it.
00:29:47.267 --> 00:29:48.767
- I know Kristen
has experienced this.
00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:50.267
Some people,
like, will email her
00:29:50.300 --> 00:29:51.433
and be like, \"You\'re stupid\"
00:29:51.467 --> 00:29:52.933
and call her all sorts of names,
00:29:52.967 --> 00:29:55.267
and then in person,
they\'re just kind of like...
00:29:55.300 --> 00:29:57.467
- Shy, and they don\'t even
want to talk to you or anything.
00:29:57.500 --> 00:30:00.300
They\'re like... they\'re a lot more
confident behind a computer
00:30:00.333 --> 00:30:02.233
where they cannot see you
as opposed to in person.
00:30:02.267 --> 00:30:04.400
Then they\'re like, \"Oh, crap,
she actually can see me,
00:30:04.433 --> 00:30:05.733
so I think
I\'m gonna stay away.\"
00:30:05.767 --> 00:30:07.733
- And fights also go on longer
00:30:07.767 --> 00:30:09.533
over, like, email and MySpace.
00:30:09.567 --> 00:30:10.567
- It\'s a squirrel!
00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:12.067
- Try it with my bow.
00:30:12.100 --> 00:30:13.567
- I doubt it\'ll be different.
00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:16.133
- It could be your arrow.
00:30:16.167 --> 00:30:19.133
- See if you can do it
with mine.
00:30:19.167 --> 00:30:20.800
[laughter]
00:30:20.833 --> 00:30:22.800
- It\'s okay.
Pull back further than that.
00:30:22.833 --> 00:30:24.967
You can pull it back until
basically it\'s not coming off.
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.500
Oh, move it
a little bit more off the...
00:30:26.533 --> 00:30:29.667
- Okay, so after
you get it to here,
00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:30.967
you just let go?
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:32.000
- Yeah.
00:30:32.033 --> 00:30:33.167
- Oh.
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.667
[giggles]
00:30:35.700 --> 00:30:38.333
[creek rushing]
00:30:38.367 --> 00:30:42.333
- I was in a dream,
a little electronic dream.
00:30:42.367 --> 00:30:45.133
Meeting Trackers was probably
the turning point for me.
00:30:45.167 --> 00:30:47.133
I just decided,
00:30:47.167 --> 00:30:48.967
\"Okay, I got to get out.
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:50.000
\"I got to go do something.
00:30:50.033 --> 00:30:51.833
I got to get in touch
with my roots.\"
00:30:51.867 --> 00:30:53.500
Because, like,
if I want to be a Navy Seal,
00:30:53.533 --> 00:31:00.400
I can\'t be in here
doing virtual reality training.
00:31:00.433 --> 00:31:02.733
Without my friends,
without Trackers,
00:31:02.767 --> 00:31:07.033
without family, without goals,
00:31:07.067 --> 00:31:08.867
I wouldn\'t be here, you know?
00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:11.767
I\'d probably...
I don\'t know where I\'d be.
00:31:11.800 --> 00:31:15.433
I\'d probably be under a bridge.
00:31:23.733 --> 00:31:26.467
- There\'s an easier way
to get up right here too.
00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:27.967
- [groans]
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.467
- I hate you people!
00:31:30.500 --> 00:31:33.600
[indistinct conversations]
00:31:33.633 --> 00:31:35.933
- Remember,
in a survival situation,
00:31:35.967 --> 00:31:39.467
you wouldn\'t want to expend
this much energy.
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.033
- Ah, God!
00:31:55.833 --> 00:31:59.300
[cheerful whistling]
00:31:59.333 --> 00:32:01.200
- Which way you guys want to go?
00:32:01.233 --> 00:32:03.033
- Up.
00:32:03.067 --> 00:32:05.167
- Yeah, to civilization,
I think.
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:06.333
- You guys are in the lead.
00:32:06.367 --> 00:32:08.633
Just take us wherever.
00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:35.733
- Yeah, he\'s got an injury.
00:32:35.767 --> 00:32:37.100
It\'s just a thorn in his toe.
00:32:37.133 --> 00:32:39.100
They\'re going to
have to operate.
00:32:39.133 --> 00:32:41.433
- I got a thorn in my foot.
00:32:41.467 --> 00:32:42.600
- I\'m going to pour,
00:32:42.633 --> 00:32:44.733
and you, like,
do this with your fingers on it.
00:32:44.767 --> 00:32:45.767
That way it might...
00:32:45.800 --> 00:32:47.167
- Like right there.
- Yeah.
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:49.667
- When I play video games,
I feel like I\'m in charge.
00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:54.000
I have the power
because I always usually win
00:32:54.033 --> 00:32:55.067
whatever I\'m doing.
00:32:55.100 --> 00:32:56.467
I feel like I have the power.
00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:59.300
But when I play other games,
I feel like I have no power.
00:32:59.333 --> 00:33:01.033
I feel like I\'m a wimp.
00:33:01.067 --> 00:33:02.700
I don\'t feel it anymore now.
00:33:02.733 --> 00:33:03.867
- Okay, cool.
00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:05.533
- But it left a mark on my foot.
00:33:05.567 --> 00:33:07.200
- Yeah, it\'s like
a tiny little pinprick.
00:33:07.233 --> 00:33:08.367
It just is annoying,
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:09.867
and then it\'ll probably go away
00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:11.200
in, like, ten minutes.
00:33:11.233 --> 00:33:13.867
- I don\'t get to play
with my friends very much
00:33:13.900 --> 00:33:16.367
because I\'m more focused
on my own thing,
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:18.000
which is video games.
00:33:18.033 --> 00:33:19.167
Which way do we go?
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:20.367
- That way.
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.067
We\'re going to go,
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
00:33:22.100 --> 00:33:23.567
- Follow me.
- I\'ll follow you guys.
00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:25.433
This time I\'ll try
not to step on anything else.
00:33:25.467 --> 00:33:26.767
- Okay.
00:33:26.800 --> 00:33:29.100
- Now I know that going outside
isn\'t all that bad.
00:33:29.133 --> 00:33:31.933
Like, I made my crossbow,
00:33:31.967 --> 00:33:34.767
which can shoot pretty far,
and it\'s fun.
00:33:34.800 --> 00:33:35.933
Like, I have foam arrows,
00:33:35.967 --> 00:33:37.767
so I can hit people with it
without them...
00:33:37.800 --> 00:33:40.200
Without it really hurting.
00:33:40.233 --> 00:33:43.867
When you want to fire,
you just press down on that.
00:33:43.900 --> 00:33:45.733
Didn\'t exactly work here.
00:33:45.767 --> 00:33:48.200
Yeah, I feel strong now.
00:33:48.233 --> 00:33:51.200
So...
00:33:51.233 --> 00:33:54.200
Dang.
00:33:54.233 --> 00:33:56.567
Yeah.
00:33:58.567 --> 00:34:01.267
I think I hit her.
00:34:01.300 --> 00:34:03.433
Oops.
00:34:03.467 --> 00:34:06.133
Experience.
00:35:04.600 --> 00:35:06.567
- The very sad thing
about a modern child
00:35:06.600 --> 00:35:09.067
is that children
don\'t see the connections
00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:10.733
between nature
and their own life.
00:35:10.767 --> 00:35:14.733
Like, they think
blueberries comes from shops.
00:35:14.767 --> 00:35:17.400
A lot of things in nature
is tasteable.
00:35:17.433 --> 00:35:19.733
You can have this thing,
and you can pluck it,
00:35:19.767 --> 00:35:22.900
and you can taste it.
00:35:22.933 --> 00:35:25.267
No, I don\'t like this.
00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:28.967
To stay health and fit and sane,
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.133
you need to go outdoors.
00:35:31.167 --> 00:35:37.233
You need to discover the world
from the very start.
00:35:37.267 --> 00:35:39.467
[sheep baaing]
00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:42.167
Baa.
00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:43.500
[laughs]
00:35:43.533 --> 00:35:47.000
[children shouting and laughing]
00:35:47.033 --> 00:35:48.067
- Children are born
00:35:48.100 --> 00:35:51.567
with this incredible capacity
to play,
00:35:51.600 --> 00:35:55.900
and it\'s an inborn mechanism
00:35:55.933 --> 00:35:59.400
that facilitates and nurtures
problem solving
00:35:59.433 --> 00:36:04.633
and creativity and empathy
and healing
00:36:04.667 --> 00:36:09.400
and the capacity
to make meaning in life.
00:36:11.467 --> 00:36:15.200
Children\'s creative play
is sort of like fingerprints.
00:36:15.233 --> 00:36:19.633
I mean, no two children
play exactly the same way.
00:36:19.667 --> 00:36:23.967
We know that
kids play less creatively
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.633
with media-linked toys.
00:36:27.667 --> 00:36:29.300
- More and more
of children\'s play
00:36:29.333 --> 00:36:32.733
is just imitating things
they\'ve seen on the screen
00:36:32.767 --> 00:36:34.407
and looks the same
everywhere in the world
00:36:34.433 --> 00:36:37.233
that I\'ve been.
00:36:37.267 --> 00:36:39.733
Children more and more
00:36:39.767 --> 00:36:42.733
don\'t learn how to become
their own active agents
00:36:42.767 --> 00:36:44.900
and interactors in the world.
00:36:44.933 --> 00:36:47.733
Instead, they turn on a screen,
00:36:47.767 --> 00:36:50.067
and the screen
creates an agenda,
00:36:50.100 --> 00:36:53.067
and every child will get
exactly the same agenda,
00:36:53.100 --> 00:36:57.733
and it\'s
a robot-like quality.
00:36:57.767 --> 00:36:59.567
- Where are the voices
of children?
00:36:59.600 --> 00:37:02.800
Where is that unique voice
00:37:02.833 --> 00:37:06.667
that makes one child different
from another child?
00:37:06.700 --> 00:37:09.467
We\'re not letting them
express that.
00:37:15.433 --> 00:37:18.233
- Pastimes that previous
generations took for granted...
00:37:18.267 --> 00:37:20.400
Climbing trees, building forts,
00:37:20.433 --> 00:37:22.233
even digging in the dirt...
00:37:22.267 --> 00:37:24.900
These are unavailable
or even prohibited
00:37:24.933 --> 00:37:27.567
for many children these days,
00:37:27.600 --> 00:37:31.733
and with that, there\'s a loss
of a precious resource.
00:37:31.767 --> 00:37:32.933
The less that kids are allowed
00:37:32.967 --> 00:37:35.433
to do this sort of stuff
in nature,
00:37:35.467 --> 00:37:37.767
the more they\'re going
to be searching
00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:40.333
for an outlet
in more technological ways.
00:37:40.367 --> 00:37:43.333
And it\'s important for parents
00:37:43.367 --> 00:37:47.667
to help balance that experience
for kids.
00:37:47.700 --> 00:37:49.833
- The idea that you want them
to learn technology
00:37:49.867 --> 00:37:51.833
and be familiar with screens,
00:37:51.867 --> 00:37:53.833
to me, is a very small part
00:37:53.867 --> 00:37:56.167
of how we would want
to prepare children
00:37:56.200 --> 00:37:59.900
for being citizens
of the future.
00:37:59.933 --> 00:38:04.333
How do we help children
think for themselves?
00:38:08.033 --> 00:38:10.700
- As a parent,
you have to be more active
00:38:10.733 --> 00:38:11.933
in a way of thinking.
00:38:11.967 --> 00:38:15.433
How can I present nature
to my child?
00:38:15.467 --> 00:38:17.033
And I don\'t think
it\'s so complicated.
00:38:17.067 --> 00:38:20.700
I mean, instead of eating
your supper meal indoors,
00:38:20.733 --> 00:38:24.200
you can take your children
out in a park and eat,
00:38:24.233 --> 00:38:26.667
and they will themselves
discover things,
00:38:26.700 --> 00:38:29.167
and then they will
actually start playing,
00:38:29.200 --> 00:38:31.033
because that\'s...
00:38:31.067 --> 00:38:32.867
That\'s what nature
invites you to do,
00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:36.200
to play with things
and to research things.
00:38:36.233 --> 00:38:39.667
And research
is a very, very essential thing.
00:38:39.700 --> 00:38:42.333
The questions
are the source of everything,
00:38:42.367 --> 00:38:46.000
and children do ask
very good questions
00:38:46.033 --> 00:38:48.033
when you speak with them.
00:38:53.267 --> 00:38:56.267
[cheers and applause]
00:39:01.200 --> 00:39:02.500
- It\'s freezing!
00:39:02.533 --> 00:39:04.567
Ah, oh, my God!
00:39:04.600 --> 00:39:06.800
[laughter]
00:39:06.833 --> 00:39:08.800
- Oh, freezing, freezing!
00:39:08.833 --> 00:39:10.500
Oh, my God!
00:39:10.533 --> 00:39:13.533
[laughter]
00:39:20.633 --> 00:39:22.267
- Okay, I went in.
00:39:22.300 --> 00:39:23.933
Everyone else
who said they\'d go in
00:39:23.967 --> 00:39:25.600
if someone else went in...
00:39:25.633 --> 00:39:28.633
[cheers and laughter]
00:39:32.767 --> 00:39:34.767
- Duck!
00:39:38.633 --> 00:39:41.600
- Camp has been interesting.
00:39:41.633 --> 00:39:44.000
It\'s full of, like,
really good experiences
00:39:44.033 --> 00:39:46.433
and then really bad experiences,
00:39:46.467 --> 00:39:48.767
so you never really know
what you\'re going to get.
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.267
So, like, sometimes,
you\'ll be like,
00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:51.767
\"Oh, I really want to go home,\"
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.600
and then, seriously, like,
an hour later, you\'ll be like,
00:39:54.633 --> 00:39:58.433
\"Man, I wish I don\'t,
like, ever leave.\"
00:39:58.467 --> 00:39:59.767
- His face is pretty intense.
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:00.800
- Wah!
00:40:00.833 --> 00:40:02.133
Computers and things like that,
00:40:02.167 --> 00:40:05.633
it\'s fun if not more fun
than using computers,
00:40:05.667 --> 00:40:07.300
just because it\'s something
00:40:07.333 --> 00:40:09.800
I\'ve never experienced before,
really.
00:40:09.833 --> 00:40:11.800
And so just, it\'s like trying
all these new things
00:40:11.833 --> 00:40:13.233
that you never thought
you could do.
00:40:13.267 --> 00:40:14.600
Like I did not know
00:40:14.633 --> 00:40:16.733
I could make a bow and arrow
that actually, like, shot.
00:40:16.767 --> 00:40:17.800
You know what I mean?
00:40:17.833 --> 00:40:19.333
So that kind of stuff
is so exciting.
00:40:19.367 --> 00:40:21.333
You\'re just like, \"Yeah,
I want to do more of that.\"
00:40:21.367 --> 00:40:23.007
It\'s cool to use your body
and get active,
00:40:23.033 --> 00:40:24.300
and, like, I\'m really surprised
00:40:24.333 --> 00:40:25.800
that I like
all this healthy food.
00:40:25.833 --> 00:40:27.300
It\'s, like, really good.
00:40:27.333 --> 00:40:28.800
And you just find
little substitutes
00:40:28.833 --> 00:40:32.633
that you never really think of
when you\'re...
00:40:32.667 --> 00:40:34.300
You know,
you\'re just so privileged,
00:40:34.333 --> 00:40:35.633
and you just
use all these things
00:40:35.667 --> 00:40:38.600
that you really don\'t need
to use at all, just...
00:40:38.633 --> 00:40:39.633
I don\'t know.
00:40:39.667 --> 00:40:42.000
So it\'s really cool.
00:40:44.333 --> 00:40:50.333
[lively percussion]
00:40:58.267 --> 00:41:01.000
- Really.
Let\'s go.
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:06.600
- Hey, watch out.
00:41:06.633 --> 00:41:07.700
- [shouting]
00:41:07.733 --> 00:41:08.733
- Watch out!
00:41:08.767 --> 00:41:11.233
Hey, hey, hey.
00:41:11.267 --> 00:41:13.067
- Go!
00:41:13.100 --> 00:41:14.567
- Wait, wait!
00:41:14.600 --> 00:41:17.400
- They got Soapy!
00:41:17.433 --> 00:41:18.767
- Are you kidding me!
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:20.767
- Bag him!
Get him!
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.100
- Get him!
- Come on!
00:41:22.133 --> 00:41:24.767
- One thing about
the online games I play are that
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:27.700
when I play them,
I\'m usually running the show.
00:41:27.733 --> 00:41:31.867
I kind of, like, assume
this role of, like, commander.
00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:33.867
I\'m used to, like,
00:41:33.900 --> 00:41:37.800
functioning
as, like, the plan maker.
00:41:37.833 --> 00:41:40.100
But it was just chaotic.
00:41:40.133 --> 00:41:42.267
It was maddening.
00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:43.933
Like, I was trying to, like,
00:41:43.967 --> 00:41:47.100
get a semblance of control
over the situations.
00:41:47.133 --> 00:41:50.833
I was trying to, like,
hide and set up ambushes
00:41:50.867 --> 00:41:52.500
and circle around people,
00:41:52.533 --> 00:41:54.233
and the game just outpaced,
00:41:54.267 --> 00:41:57.333
like, my thinking
and adaptations.
00:41:57.367 --> 00:41:58.500
- He\'s by himself.
00:41:58.533 --> 00:41:59.633
He\'s by himself,
00:41:59.667 --> 00:42:01.700
\'cause he runs around
way too much.
00:42:01.733 --> 00:42:03.700
- I got several people
angry at me
00:42:03.733 --> 00:42:06.700
because they just
threw themselves at the combat.
00:42:06.733 --> 00:42:09.200
I stayed back.
00:42:09.233 --> 00:42:12.867
I tried to avoid
direct conflict.
00:42:12.900 --> 00:42:15.100
A fair fight
was not what I had in mind,
00:42:15.133 --> 00:42:17.567
but that\'s what was required.
00:42:19.267 --> 00:42:21.567
I found out that
at one point or another,
00:42:21.600 --> 00:42:22.700
you just have to, like,
00:42:22.733 --> 00:42:24.700
take your bow
and notch the arrow
00:42:24.733 --> 00:42:27.033
and just run up
and try to shoot someone.
00:42:27.067 --> 00:42:29.733
- Go, Nate!
00:42:38.733 --> 00:42:42.067
- I\'m not waiting for the arrow
to bounce off of his head.
00:42:45.733 --> 00:42:47.867
- Everything is made up
and then...
00:42:47.900 --> 00:42:52.733
- All of the jams
and jellies and peanut butter.
00:43:03.567 --> 00:43:05.267
- You want to push it
really hard.
00:43:05.300 --> 00:43:06.767
- Oh.
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:07.900
- Here you go.
Here you go.
00:43:07.933 --> 00:43:10.067
You can do this.
00:43:10.100 --> 00:43:11.400
You can do this.
00:43:11.433 --> 00:43:13.267
You\'re cranking it out.
00:43:13.300 --> 00:43:14.433
Oh, my gosh.
00:43:14.467 --> 00:43:16.100
Just keep on going with that.
00:43:16.133 --> 00:43:17.367
Hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on.
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:18.400
Hold on.
00:43:18.433 --> 00:43:19.433
You got a coal.
00:43:19.467 --> 00:43:20.533
- Oh, my goodness.
00:43:20.567 --> 00:43:21.567
- Yeah!
00:43:21.600 --> 00:43:22.600
- That\'s beautiful!
00:43:22.633 --> 00:43:24.267
- I know.
00:43:24.300 --> 00:43:25.933
- I\'m so getting
s\'mores tonight.
00:43:25.967 --> 00:43:27.367
- You so are.
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:29.700
You\'ve maybe just
gained the whole camp s\'mores.
00:43:29.733 --> 00:43:31.100
- All right,
let\'s bring this over,
00:43:31.133 --> 00:43:32.767
and you can continue
blowing on it.
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:33.933
- Yay!
00:43:33.967 --> 00:43:36.267
We got marshmallows
for the whole camp!
00:43:36.300 --> 00:43:37.433
Whoo!
00:43:37.467 --> 00:43:39.933
- Yeah!
00:43:39.967 --> 00:43:41.267
- I can\'t wait to tell my mom.
00:43:41.300 --> 00:43:42.467
She\'ll be like,
\"Oh, my gosh.\"
00:43:42.500 --> 00:43:43.700
- Is there anybody else missing?
00:43:43.733 --> 00:43:44.733
Are we all here?
00:43:44.767 --> 00:43:45.767
- I have another song.
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:47.267
You know, like,
the Pizza Hut one?
00:43:47.300 --> 00:43:48.533
- Uh-huh.
00:43:48.567 --> 00:43:51.167
- It\'s sort of like that
but a forest version.
00:43:51.200 --> 00:43:52.500
Let\'s see.
00:43:52.533 --> 00:43:55.333
[singing]
A Douglas fir, a Douglas fir,
00:43:55.367 --> 00:43:57.067
an eeny-meeny mouse
and a Douglas fir.
00:43:57.100 --> 00:43:59.200
A Douglas fir, a Douglas fir,
00:43:59.233 --> 00:44:01.933
an eeny-meeny mouse
and a Douglas fir.
00:44:01.967 --> 00:44:04.767
And then something like that,
like, uh... oh, yeah.
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:07.033
[resumes singing] A sword fern,
a sword fern,
00:44:07.067 --> 00:44:09.033
an eeny-meeny mouse
and a Douglas fir.
00:44:09.067 --> 00:44:11.033
A sword fern, a sword fern,
00:44:11.067 --> 00:44:13.867
an eeny-meeny mouse
and a Douglas fir.
00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:15.500
[all cheering]
00:44:15.533 --> 00:44:16.533
- That\'s great.
00:44:16.567 --> 00:44:17.867
- That was awesome.
00:44:17.900 --> 00:44:19.567
We should all learn that
tomorrow.
00:44:19.600 --> 00:44:21.733
- I think it was really fun
today, like, going swimming,
00:44:21.767 --> 00:44:23.407
even though the water
was, like, ice cold.
00:44:23.433 --> 00:44:25.400
It was just fun to say...
Because I can say now
00:44:25.433 --> 00:44:27.800
that I\'ve swam in a river
before.
00:44:27.833 --> 00:44:30.133
- Do you want to say anything
about your day?
00:44:30.167 --> 00:44:33.300
- Tired and frustrated.
00:44:33.333 --> 00:44:34.467
- Really?
00:44:34.500 --> 00:44:36.500
- Yes.
00:44:39.133 --> 00:44:42.567
- Chocolate, marshmallows,
and a log.
00:44:42.600 --> 00:44:43.967
Mmm.
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:45.967
- We\'ll sing the chorus first
a couple times, okay?
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:47.300
- Okay.
Then maybe I\'ll remember.
00:44:47.333 --> 00:44:53.333
[upbeat acoustic guitar playing]
00:45:01.533 --> 00:45:05.500
- [singing] Molalla, la-la,
la-la, la-la, la-la,
00:45:05.533 --> 00:45:08.733
la-la river camp.
00:45:12.367 --> 00:45:16.000
Where the fire\'s always bright,
but the...
00:45:16.033 --> 00:45:19.800
Even if the wood is damp.
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:27.767
The Molalla, la-la, la-la,
la-la, la-la,
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.733
la-la river camp.
00:45:34.667 --> 00:45:41.133
Where the fire\'s always bright
even if the wood is damp.
00:45:43.033 --> 00:45:44.333
- As part of this film,
00:45:44.367 --> 00:45:48.333
we\'re asking all of you
to do a media fast.
00:45:48.367 --> 00:45:51.000
- Huh?
Fast?
00:45:51.033 --> 00:45:52.833
No.
00:45:52.867 --> 00:45:56.333
I must eat.
00:45:56.367 --> 00:45:58.000
- Screen.
00:45:58.033 --> 00:45:59.667
- Oh.
00:45:59.700 --> 00:46:01.733
- No computer, no video games.
00:46:01.767 --> 00:46:03.400
- For how long?
00:46:03.433 --> 00:46:05.733
- How long do you think
that you could go without?
00:46:05.767 --> 00:46:07.167
- One second.
00:46:07.200 --> 00:46:09.833
- What\'s that supposed to mean?
00:46:09.867 --> 00:46:11.333
[laughs]
00:46:11.367 --> 00:46:13.633
What\'s going on here?
00:46:13.667 --> 00:46:14.967
That\'s like telling me to,
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.967
like, stab myself in the throat
and stay alive.
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:21.300
Geez.
00:46:21.333 --> 00:46:22.667
Are you serious?
00:46:22.700 --> 00:46:24.000
I thought we were best friends.
00:46:24.033 --> 00:46:25.200
[laughter]
00:46:25.233 --> 00:46:27.033
- The thing about
this whole screen fast is,
00:46:27.067 --> 00:46:28.367
we\'re the moviemakers,
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.867
so I could secretly be,
like, watching TV
00:46:31.900 --> 00:46:33.033
for, like, two hours a day
00:46:33.067 --> 00:46:35.533
and just get on this little tape
and be all fake
00:46:35.567 --> 00:46:37.207
and be like, \"Oh, yeah,
today was so good.
00:46:37.233 --> 00:46:38.700
I didn\'t watch anything.\"
00:46:38.733 --> 00:46:40.267
And I could just do that
for, like, a week
00:46:40.300 --> 00:46:41.500
and just lie to you
00:46:41.533 --> 00:46:43.167
and be like,
\"Yep, I didn\'t do anything.\"
00:46:43.200 --> 00:46:44.267
But this is real,
00:46:44.300 --> 00:46:45.600
and, like,
I don\'t want this thing
00:46:45.633 --> 00:46:46.933
to be cheesy or fake at all,
00:46:46.967 --> 00:46:50.033
because this is, like,
supposed to be a documentary.
00:46:50.067 --> 00:46:51.400
It\'s, like, real life.
00:46:51.433 --> 00:46:53.400
It\'s not like reality TV
where you can kind of sense
00:46:53.433 --> 00:46:55.900
some of the stuff\'s, like,
kind of not real, I guess.
00:46:55.933 --> 00:46:57.433
This is, like, a documentary.
00:46:57.467 --> 00:46:59.600
This is real life, no joke.
00:46:59.633 --> 00:47:01.700
This is what\'s happening
in my life right now.
00:47:01.733 --> 00:47:03.533
- I\'m feeling a little bit,
00:47:03.567 --> 00:47:07.033
just a tiny bit
of screen cravings, yeah.
00:47:07.067 --> 00:47:08.933
I just want to go up on YouTube,
00:47:08.967 --> 00:47:10.933
look something up, you know?
00:47:10.967 --> 00:47:12.433
Just \'cause my friend was like,
00:47:12.467 --> 00:47:14.467
\"Oh, you should check out
this video on YouTube.\"
00:47:14.500 --> 00:47:15.967
I\'m like, \"Oh, I can\'t.
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:20.467
\"I\'m little technology Gandhi
taking a media fast here,
00:47:20.500 --> 00:47:22.800
so I can\'t do that today.\"
00:47:22.833 --> 00:47:25.800
- I didn\'t think
I was addicted to TV, actually,
00:47:25.833 --> 00:47:27.467
before I started
the screen fast,
00:47:27.500 --> 00:47:29.800
but now I know
I really, really am.
00:47:29.833 --> 00:47:32.467
Like it\'s really,
really hard for me.
00:47:32.500 --> 00:47:35.300
Like, you guys have no idea
how hard it is for me
00:47:35.333 --> 00:47:40.300
just to be sitting here
while my show\'s playing.
00:47:40.333 --> 00:47:43.800
- The primary way
00:47:43.833 --> 00:47:46.633
that the advertising
and marketing industry
00:47:46.667 --> 00:47:49.800
reaches children
is through screens,
00:47:49.833 --> 00:47:52.967
and it begins in infancy.
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:59.133
Comparing the marketing
of yesteryear
00:47:59.167 --> 00:48:00.700
to the marketing of today
00:48:00.733 --> 00:48:03.967
is like comparing
a BB gun to a smart bomb.
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:05.800
- Plug into your TV
with your MP3!
00:48:05.833 --> 00:48:08.867
- These days, it\'s honed
by child psychologists.
00:48:08.900 --> 00:48:12.567
It\'s made possible
by this incredible technology,
00:48:12.600 --> 00:48:13.733
and it\'s brought to us
00:48:13.767 --> 00:48:16.333
by billions and billions
of dollars.
00:48:16.367 --> 00:48:19.167
To put this in perspective,
in 1983,
00:48:19.200 --> 00:48:22.500
companies were spending
$100 million annually
00:48:22.533 --> 00:48:24.767
marketing to children
in the United States,
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:27.900
and now they\'re spending
about $17 billion.
00:48:31.967 --> 00:48:35.767
- Children begin to receive
messages very early on
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:39.833
that they have to have things
in order to be happy.
00:48:39.867 --> 00:48:42.267
They have to have certain things
in order to play.
00:48:42.300 --> 00:48:45.133
- So babies
can be fashion stars!
00:48:45.167 --> 00:48:48.633
- The onslaught has been
so tremendous and so rapid
00:48:48.667 --> 00:48:53.467
of media, marketing,
commercialization everywhere.
00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:54.967
It interferes with
00:48:55.000 --> 00:49:01.267
what is a natural developmental
experience for human beings,
00:49:01.300 --> 00:49:04.600
to deeply sense one\'s own being
00:49:04.633 --> 00:49:07.300
in one\'s body, in nature.
00:49:09.733 --> 00:49:13.100
- If we stand by
and let this happen,
00:49:13.133 --> 00:49:14.767
if there aren\'t people
who stand up
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:19.067
and say, \"Children need time
away from commercialism,\"
00:49:19.100 --> 00:49:21.667
that we have to stop
corporations
00:49:21.700 --> 00:49:25.767
from dominating
and taking over childhood,
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:31.067
that what we\'re really
allowing to happen
00:49:31.100 --> 00:49:34.000
is the death of childhood.
00:49:36.933 --> 00:49:39.867
- We are allowing children
to be exploited
00:49:39.900 --> 00:49:42.833
for the purpose of making money.
00:49:42.867 --> 00:49:46.333
That\'s a society whose values
have gone very deeply awry.
00:49:46.367 --> 00:49:48.833
And there\'s a suicidal aspect
to that,
00:49:48.867 --> 00:49:51.833
because we are destroying
our ability
00:49:51.867 --> 00:49:54.733
to reproduce ourselves
as a healthy culture.
00:50:00.767 --> 00:50:02.067
The more we watch,
00:50:02.100 --> 00:50:04.567
the more likely we are
to want things,
00:50:04.600 --> 00:50:07.567
to upscale our desires
and to spend.
00:50:07.600 --> 00:50:10.467
The link between that
and the environment
00:50:10.500 --> 00:50:11.533
is very clear,
00:50:11.567 --> 00:50:13.533
because environmental
degradation
00:50:13.567 --> 00:50:15.200
is first and foremost
being driven
00:50:15.233 --> 00:50:17.633
by our consumption
and production.
00:50:17.667 --> 00:50:22.433
We are simply using too many
of the world\'s resources.
00:50:22.467 --> 00:50:26.100
So there is a direct link
between watching television
00:50:26.133 --> 00:50:29.367
and climate change,
species extinction,
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:31.233
ecological devastation.
00:50:36.733 --> 00:50:40.033
- We\'ve promulgated
a very destructive notion
00:50:40.067 --> 00:50:42.867
of consumption being
the be-all and end-all
00:50:42.900 --> 00:50:45.700
so that we can
grow the economy forever,
00:50:45.733 --> 00:50:48.367
and we\'ve left out
the most important part
00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:50.367
that makes an economy possible,
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:51.767
and that\'s nature.
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:54.433
- There is a question
of how fast and how long
00:50:54.467 --> 00:50:56.433
can we continue
to grow like this.
00:50:56.467 --> 00:50:57.933
How much is enough?
00:50:57.967 --> 00:50:59.767
If everyone lived
like the average American,
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:03.833
we\'d need something like
five planets to sustain us all.
00:51:03.867 --> 00:51:06.700
Obviously,
we\'ve got just the one.
00:51:06.733 --> 00:51:08.367
- The economy
doesn\'t rule everything.
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:12.033
The biosphere ultimately
is what rules our lives,
00:51:12.067 --> 00:51:14.033
and it ain\'t very much.
00:51:14.067 --> 00:51:16.033
The zone of air, water, and land
00:51:16.067 --> 00:51:18.733
where all living things exist,
00:51:18.767 --> 00:51:21.900
if you reduce the Earth
to the size of a basketball,
00:51:21.933 --> 00:51:24.400
as Carl Sagan used to say,
00:51:24.433 --> 00:51:28.233
the biosphere would be thinner
than a layer of Saran Wrap.
00:51:28.267 --> 00:51:30.067
And that\'s it.
00:51:30.100 --> 00:51:31.900
It can\'t grow.
00:51:31.933 --> 00:51:36.067
We\'re in this position where
we will destroy the atmosphere
00:51:36.100 --> 00:51:39.067
in the name of economic growth.
00:51:39.100 --> 00:51:41.067
This is suicidal.
00:51:41.100 --> 00:51:45.933
There is a sense of urgency
that is so very profound.
00:52:14.433 --> 00:52:17.233
- There are immense global
environmental challenges
00:52:17.267 --> 00:52:18.400
we face.
00:52:18.433 --> 00:52:21.733
If we are not
going to be the generation
00:52:21.767 --> 00:52:23.400
that has to deal with that,
00:52:23.433 --> 00:52:26.233
that is going to come
to the younger generations now
00:52:26.267 --> 00:52:28.233
or generations to be born.
00:52:28.267 --> 00:52:31.400
How can we expect them
to really care
00:52:31.433 --> 00:52:33.400
about their natural environment
00:52:33.433 --> 00:52:36.067
if they\'ve never had
an experience in it?
00:52:36.100 --> 00:52:37.533
- Wait, hold on.
00:52:37.567 --> 00:52:38.567
[laughter]
00:52:38.600 --> 00:52:40.400
Wait.
00:52:40.433 --> 00:52:42.733
[zipper zipping]
00:52:42.767 --> 00:52:45.300
- Did you guys stay up all night
talking?
00:52:45.333 --> 00:52:48.300
- Yes.
00:52:48.333 --> 00:52:49.800
- It was their fault.
00:52:49.833 --> 00:52:51.600
- It was their fault?
00:52:51.633 --> 00:52:53.933
Well, we got food.
00:52:53.967 --> 00:52:56.800
A kick-a[...] day
full of stuff.
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:17.267
- It\'s actually
kind of a funny story.
00:53:17.300 --> 00:53:22.267
I was hoping, like,
to resolve to not have to,
00:53:22.300 --> 00:53:25.733
like, just, like,
go to the bathroom,
00:53:25.767 --> 00:53:28.067
like, in the middle
of, like, the wilderness
00:53:28.100 --> 00:53:32.767
and using, like,
moss toiletries and stuff.
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:34.533
And I just felt
completely awful.
00:53:34.567 --> 00:53:35.767
There was no way
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:39.467
I was going to, like,
truck my a[...] up a hill.
00:53:41.200 --> 00:53:43.800
I actually felt
way more alone here
00:53:43.833 --> 00:53:45.967
than I do when I\'m at home.
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.800
When I\'m at home,
I have, like, easily 50 people
00:53:49.833 --> 00:53:51.067
at any given time
00:53:51.100 --> 00:53:54.733
who I\'m connected to
within two minutes.
00:53:54.767 --> 00:53:57.067
And these
are all kinds of people
00:53:57.100 --> 00:53:58.733
from all kinds of countries
00:53:58.767 --> 00:54:03.633
who I can go to
for all kinds of things.
00:54:03.667 --> 00:54:05.967
- I didn\'t want to go walking.
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.800
It was raining and cold.
00:54:08.833 --> 00:54:10.467
Then it got hot.
00:54:10.500 --> 00:54:12.967
And it was just, like,
walking up there
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:14.467
really for no reason,
00:54:14.500 --> 00:54:16.367
because we didn\'t really
do anything up there.
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:21.533
Me and Nate just walked back,
and I took a nap.
00:54:21.567 --> 00:54:23.200
- These are great kids.
00:54:23.233 --> 00:54:27.033
Many of them feel
like kids who isolate often.
00:54:27.067 --> 00:54:29.467
The way that
this camp has happened,
00:54:29.500 --> 00:54:30.800
it\'s pretty severe
00:54:30.833 --> 00:54:35.800
in comparison with
these kids\' average lives.
00:54:35.833 --> 00:54:37.633
And I think it was...
00:54:37.667 --> 00:54:39.367
It\'s really shocking
for some of them.
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:40.700
But I think that
00:54:40.733 --> 00:54:44.567
that holds the possibility
of major growth.
00:55:33.300 --> 00:55:34.433
[wood cracking]
00:55:34.467 --> 00:55:36.533
Timber!
00:55:41.567 --> 00:55:44.567
[ax chopping]
00:55:55.100 --> 00:55:56.100
- It\'s not at the stick.
00:55:56.133 --> 00:55:57.333
It\'s through the stick.
00:55:57.367 --> 00:55:58.600
The stick\'s not even there.
00:55:58.633 --> 00:56:04.000
It\'s just kind of something
along the way.
00:56:04.033 --> 00:56:06.833
One, two, three, four.
00:56:06.867 --> 00:56:08.200
Whoo!
00:56:08.233 --> 00:56:10.533
God, it\'s a dandy day
when all someone wants me to do
00:56:10.567 --> 00:56:14.200
is kick a few sticks in.
00:56:14.233 --> 00:56:16.367
[shouting and laughter]
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:19.367
- The main things
I learned in this is,
00:56:19.400 --> 00:56:21.700
is, like, a lot of plants
are around anywhere,
00:56:21.733 --> 00:56:24.867
you can find,
and they\'re going to help you.
00:56:24.900 --> 00:56:27.200
You just have to know
which ones they are
00:56:27.233 --> 00:56:29.367
and not get the wrong ones.
00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:31.700
The difference of, like,
just seeing everything,
00:56:31.733 --> 00:56:33.967
I\'m not in front of a computer.
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:35.300
Being out here,
00:56:35.333 --> 00:56:37.633
it\'s just, like,
it\'s really uncomfortable.
00:56:37.667 --> 00:56:38.967
Like, you have, like, no place.
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:41.467
You either sit on rocks,
or you sit on dirt.
00:56:41.500 --> 00:56:44.300
And when you\'re home,
00:56:44.333 --> 00:56:48.633
like, I sit on the couch,
or I sit on my bed.
00:56:48.667 --> 00:56:51.300
You\'re just in a nice,
comfy place,
00:56:51.333 --> 00:56:52.800
cushiony and everything.
00:56:52.833 --> 00:56:57.300
The dirt was cushy,
but it just wasn\'t clean.
00:56:57.333 --> 00:57:01.233
I\'m thinking of going home,
stuff like that.
00:57:01.267 --> 00:57:03.900
I can\'t wait to get back on
my cell phone and my computer.
00:57:06.533 --> 00:57:10.200
- [singing] The flower said,
\"I wish I were a tree.\"
00:57:10.233 --> 00:57:14.200
both: The flower said,
\"I wish I were a tree.\"
00:57:14.233 --> 00:57:17.300
- The tree said,
\"I wish I could be.\"
00:57:17.333 --> 00:57:19.967
- The tree said,
\"I wish that\"...
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:23.100
- The tree said,
\"I wish I could be.\"
00:57:23.133 --> 00:57:24.267
Wait, what?
00:57:24.300 --> 00:57:25.433
- Really high into the sky.
00:57:25.467 --> 00:57:27.867
- Really high into the sky.
00:57:27.900 --> 00:57:34.300
Both: Over rooftops,
and then dive into the sea.
00:57:36.967 --> 00:57:38.300
- Being a nature person
00:57:38.333 --> 00:57:43.500
gives me a lot of respect
for myself and for nature,
00:57:43.533 --> 00:57:47.167
because nature,
it was here before us,
00:57:47.200 --> 00:57:50.000
and it\'s like respecting
your elders.
00:57:50.033 --> 00:57:51.433
The road we\'re going now,
00:57:51.467 --> 00:57:53.567
I think we\'re definitely
going to have to leave Earth,
00:57:53.600 --> 00:57:54.967
if that\'s possible.
00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:56.967
But hopefully that never comes,
00:57:57.000 --> 00:58:00.200
because I really love Earth.
00:58:00.233 --> 00:58:01.700
It\'s my hometown.
00:58:01.733 --> 00:58:02.867
[laughs]
00:58:02.900 --> 00:58:05.667
- All right, Brian,
where do you want this?
00:58:09.467 --> 00:58:12.433
- Get your bows and arrows,
your safety goggles.
00:58:12.467 --> 00:58:14.600
- Well, I\'m really excited
for the sauna.
00:58:14.633 --> 00:58:17.100
It should be really fun.
I don\'t know.
00:58:17.133 --> 00:58:18.267
It\'s gonna, like, clean out
00:58:18.300 --> 00:58:19.700
all our impurities
and everything,
00:58:19.733 --> 00:58:21.467
and I think it\'s going
to be really exciting,
00:58:21.500 --> 00:58:23.000
because I\'ve, like,
never been to a spa
00:58:23.033 --> 00:58:24.100
or anything like that.
00:58:24.133 --> 00:58:25.533
I think just, like,
the whole concept
00:58:25.567 --> 00:58:26.567
and everything behind it,
00:58:26.600 --> 00:58:28.000
like the rocks and everything,
00:58:28.033 --> 00:58:30.167
it\'s just really cool,
so that\'s really exciting,
00:58:30.200 --> 00:58:32.733
and that\'s going to happen in,
like, a few minutes.
00:58:32.767 --> 00:58:34.067
- File in!
00:58:34.100 --> 00:58:36.933
The rocks are getting put in!
00:58:39.600 --> 00:58:42.567
- Ooh, look at how red that is.
00:58:42.600 --> 00:58:44.167
- Yeah, there we go.
00:58:44.200 --> 00:58:45.667
- First things first.
00:58:45.700 --> 00:58:47.333
First things first.
00:58:47.367 --> 00:58:48.500
- The rules.
00:58:48.533 --> 00:58:50.167
- At any point,
if you need to get out,
00:58:50.200 --> 00:58:51.733
just yell \"door.\"
00:58:51.767 --> 00:58:53.900
Close your eyes
for just a second
00:58:53.933 --> 00:58:55.967
as I pour this first steam on.
00:58:56.000 --> 00:59:00.367
And just relax
and let yourself go.
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:03.933
[steam hissing]
00:59:03.967 --> 00:59:06.967
[laughter]
00:59:08.933 --> 00:59:10.567
- My body\'s, like, tingling.
00:59:10.600 --> 00:59:12.733
- It\'s really good,
inside and out.
00:59:12.767 --> 00:59:14.067
- I\'m starting
to warm up to it now,
00:59:14.100 --> 00:59:15.167
it seems like.
00:59:15.200 --> 00:59:17.333
- You will.
You\'ll get used to it.
00:59:17.367 --> 00:59:18.633
- It\'s like a hot tub.
00:59:18.667 --> 00:59:20.300
- Just,
I want to do a little bit
00:59:20.333 --> 00:59:23.133
of formal thanksgiving.
00:59:23.167 --> 00:59:24.467
- Oh.
00:59:24.500 --> 00:59:25.967
I\'m thankful for so many things,
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:29.300
but I guess I\'m thankful
for the sweat lodge
00:59:29.333 --> 00:59:31.133
because we can all
be in here together,
00:59:31.167 --> 00:59:32.500
talk to each other,
00:59:32.533 --> 00:59:34.800
and, I don\'t know,
get to know each other better.
00:59:34.833 --> 00:59:38.467
- There was, like,
a big divorce with my parents,
00:59:38.500 --> 00:59:39.767
so they\'re still getting along.
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:41.567
It\'s really good
we still do things together,
00:59:41.600 --> 00:59:44.967
so I\'m thankful for that.
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:46.367
[steam hissing]
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:49.367
- I am thankful for
the three years that I\'m given
00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:52.867
before I have to live as a...
Just to live fun
00:59:52.900 --> 00:59:55.200
and be a civilian
before I have to go off
00:59:55.233 --> 00:59:58.633
and become someone
completely different.
00:59:58.667 --> 01:00:00.133
- Who needs water?
01:00:00.167 --> 01:00:01.467
- I do.
- That feels so good.
01:00:01.500 --> 01:00:02.633
- Would you like a shot?
01:00:02.667 --> 01:00:03.800
- Yeah.
01:00:03.833 --> 01:00:07.967
[laughter]
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:10.333
- How long do we stay in here
before we...
01:00:10.367 --> 01:00:12.500
Before it\'s good to get out
and rinse off?
01:00:12.533 --> 01:00:15.000
- You can stay as long
or as short as you want.
01:00:15.033 --> 01:00:18.333
You can jump out right now
and go jump in that river,
01:00:18.367 --> 01:00:20.633
wait five or ten minutes,
and then jump right back in.
01:00:20.667 --> 01:00:21.667
It\'s all right.
01:00:21.700 --> 01:00:23.067
I\'m gonna end up doing that.
01:00:23.100 --> 01:00:24.133
- Can we do that?
01:00:24.167 --> 01:00:25.933
- Who wants to do that?
- I\'m in.
01:00:25.967 --> 01:00:28.933
- Oh, my God, all right, door!
01:00:28.967 --> 01:00:30.100
- Okay, let\'s go!
01:00:30.133 --> 01:00:31.433
- Okay, come around this way.
01:00:31.467 --> 01:00:36.100
Come around this way, this way.
01:00:36.133 --> 01:00:37.767
- Whoo!
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:38.933
- That was so hot.
01:00:38.967 --> 01:00:41.500
- Oh, I\'m, like, numb.
01:00:41.533 --> 01:00:42.833
- Whoo!
01:00:42.867 --> 01:00:45.867
[laughter]
01:01:11.600 --> 01:01:13.267
[whooping and laughing]
01:01:13.300 --> 01:01:15.133
- Ah!
01:01:27.667 --> 01:01:29.833
- Yeah!
01:01:29.867 --> 01:01:32.867
[haunting operatic vocalizing]
01:01:47.300 --> 01:01:51.100
- What they will not value,
they will not protect.
01:01:51.133 --> 01:01:54.200
And what they will not protect,
they will lose.
01:01:57.233 --> 01:01:59.367
I went out into the wilderness,
01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:01.767
and when I picked up something,
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:03.500
I discovered
that it was connected
01:02:03.533 --> 01:02:07.000
to everything else in the world.
01:02:07.033 --> 01:02:11.500
Every effect must have a cause.
01:02:11.533 --> 01:02:14.900
Nothing exists in isolation
in this world.
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:19.300
- The richer
their imagination grows,
01:02:19.333 --> 01:02:21.133
the more powerful
their consciousness,
01:02:21.167 --> 01:02:23.300
the more their soul
comes to the surface,
01:02:23.333 --> 01:02:24.733
and their heart grows big,
01:02:24.767 --> 01:02:27.133
and their sensitivity to others
increases,
01:02:27.167 --> 01:02:30.267
and their problem-solving skills
just go through the roof.
01:02:30.300 --> 01:02:32.700
And that\'s connection to nature
that brings that on.
01:02:37.233 --> 01:02:40.233
- [screams]
01:02:43.167 --> 01:02:45.800
- We don\'t need to load them up
with a lot more factoids.
01:02:45.833 --> 01:02:48.033
We need to put them
in a situation
01:02:48.067 --> 01:02:49.700
in which they can have
a sense of wonder.
01:02:49.733 --> 01:02:52.367
It\'s that simple.
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:54.533
- The greatest challenge we face
01:02:54.567 --> 01:02:56.533
with the information revolution
01:02:56.567 --> 01:02:58.200
and the fact that
that\'s where children
01:02:58.233 --> 01:02:59.967
are spending their time
01:03:00.067 --> 01:03:03.200
is that they don\'t learn
the most important thing,
01:03:03.233 --> 01:03:08.567
and that is that nature needs
time to reveal her secrets.
01:03:20.067 --> 01:03:23.033
- Television tells you 24 hours
a day
01:03:23.067 --> 01:03:25.367
that you\'re the most
important thing in the world.
01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:28.700
And the natural world tells you
just the opposite:
01:03:28.733 --> 01:03:31.533
you\'re a small part
of something very large,
01:03:31.567 --> 01:03:34.033
something beautiful,
something orderly,
01:03:34.067 --> 01:03:35.867
something meaningful,
01:03:35.900 --> 01:03:37.967
but you\'re not the center of it.
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:39.440
I think people,
after a little while,
01:03:39.467 --> 01:03:41.267
if they get to spend some time
in it,
01:03:41.300 --> 01:03:42.600
find it deeply liberating
01:03:42.633 --> 01:03:46.633
to not have to be
the center of everything.
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:51.000
- We have a chance
to change the course
01:03:51.033 --> 01:03:52.233
of where we\'re headed right now
01:03:52.267 --> 01:03:53.900
in global warming
and climate change,
01:03:53.933 --> 01:03:55.233
but we need to make sure
01:03:55.267 --> 01:03:57.567
that the younger generation
and generations to come
01:03:57.600 --> 01:04:00.300
are empowered
to not only face that challenge
01:04:00.333 --> 01:04:03.000
but to meet that challenge.
01:04:04.867 --> 01:04:10.000
- Environmental education
is a tremendous vehicle
01:04:10.033 --> 01:04:13.667
to equip the next generation
01:04:13.700 --> 01:04:17.100
with not only the knowledge
of the environment
01:04:17.133 --> 01:04:20.867
but a sensitivity
to the environment
01:04:20.900 --> 01:04:24.867
and a desire to preserve
the environment.
01:04:24.900 --> 01:04:26.533
You want national guidelines.
01:04:26.567 --> 01:04:27.867
You want national goals.
01:04:27.900 --> 01:04:29.367
You want to set a framework
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:33.033
that makes this a priority
for the country.
01:04:33.067 --> 01:04:34.700
The No Child Left Inside Act
01:04:34.733 --> 01:04:38.033
is a bill that we introduced
in the 110th Congress,
01:04:38.067 --> 01:04:41.200
and basically,
it was premised on research
01:04:41.233 --> 01:04:43.700
that shows that kids these days
01:04:43.733 --> 01:04:47.600
are spending an inordinate
amount of time inside
01:04:47.633 --> 01:04:50.033
on video games and so forth,
01:04:50.067 --> 01:04:53.700
and they\'re spending
very little time outdoors.
01:04:53.733 --> 01:04:55.200
And the kids learn better,
frankly,
01:04:55.233 --> 01:04:57.733
when they\'re outdoors.
01:04:59.700 --> 01:05:01.400
- There\'s nothing
that can replace
01:05:01.433 --> 01:05:04.100
the hands-on experience
of being outdoors.
01:05:04.133 --> 01:05:06.100
There\'s an immersive quality
to it
01:05:06.133 --> 01:05:08.800
that you can\'t copy.
01:05:08.833 --> 01:05:10.467
When you\'re outdoors,
01:05:10.500 --> 01:05:12.633
the natural environment
is the teacher,
01:05:12.667 --> 01:05:13.800
and you become a guide.
01:05:13.833 --> 01:05:16.467
And if you can elicit
the right questions
01:05:16.500 --> 01:05:17.900
from your students,
01:05:17.933 --> 01:05:19.567
then they\'re going
to have the experience
01:05:19.600 --> 01:05:21.333
that\'s going to be
the most impactful thing,
01:05:21.367 --> 01:05:23.167
rather than us
delivering information.
01:05:23.200 --> 01:05:25.167
It\'s the simple little things,
01:05:25.200 --> 01:05:26.800
the stepping away
from the screen
01:05:26.833 --> 01:05:30.233
and opening your perception
to something larger.
01:05:30.267 --> 01:05:33.733
Here, you touch it.
You smell this.
01:05:33.767 --> 01:05:35.400
Feel that.
Wow.
01:05:35.433 --> 01:05:38.300
You know, that\'s where
the connection happens.
01:05:41.500 --> 01:05:44.133
- You got an ionic compound...
[indistinct]
01:05:44.167 --> 01:05:45.467
The challenge for me
01:05:45.500 --> 01:05:47.800
is competing
with the attention spans.
01:05:47.833 --> 01:05:51.133
I\'m trying to keep them moving,
transitioning many times.
01:05:51.167 --> 01:05:52.433
That\'s where I see
01:05:52.467 --> 01:05:55.933
a lot of the ability
of these kids to multitask,
01:05:55.967 --> 01:05:58.267
process massive things
and do it quickly.
01:05:58.300 --> 01:06:00.667
Oh, man, I\'m dancing.
01:06:00.700 --> 01:06:04.167
I\'m dancing up there nonstop.
01:06:04.200 --> 01:06:06.067
I don\'t have to exercise
during the school year.
01:06:06.100 --> 01:06:07.567
I\'m burning calories.
01:06:07.600 --> 01:06:09.233
Directly in my classroom,
01:06:09.267 --> 01:06:12.367
I try to connect experience
to their health and awareness.
01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:14.700
I installed a garden
at the school
01:06:14.733 --> 01:06:16.033
for that purpose alone,
01:06:16.067 --> 01:06:18.200
to try to have
a direct connection,
01:06:18.233 --> 01:06:22.367
experiential connection
between the students
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:25.000
and knowing where
their food comes from.
01:06:25.033 --> 01:06:26.833
These are things that
01:06:26.867 --> 01:06:30.833
we are all either going
to be teaching them in school,
01:06:30.867 --> 01:06:33.700
or you\'re going to be
teaching them as parents,
01:06:33.733 --> 01:06:36.500
or we\'re not going
to be teaching them at all,
01:06:36.533 --> 01:06:38.900
which is where we\'re at
currently.
01:06:38.933 --> 01:06:41.933
I think if we want to change
things environmentally
01:06:41.967 --> 01:06:45.133
or we want to change things
as stewards of this planet,
01:06:45.167 --> 01:06:46.967
we first need to believe
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:48.800
that we are stewards
of this planet,
01:06:48.833 --> 01:06:50.600
and that has to be taught.
01:06:56.633 --> 01:07:00.400
- Once you\'ve got it,
you can go down.
01:07:00.433 --> 01:07:04.233
And put your foot back
and go into push-up position.
01:07:04.267 --> 01:07:07.900
Lower yourself
as slowly as you can,
01:07:07.933 --> 01:07:09.900
and go up into cobra.
01:07:09.933 --> 01:07:14.600
Really stretch further
this time, if you can.
01:07:14.633 --> 01:07:17.600
- The way I\'ve approached
the virtual world
01:07:17.633 --> 01:07:19.933
and this, like,
entirely natural world
01:07:19.967 --> 01:07:21.933
represent just two extremes
01:07:21.967 --> 01:07:24.433
in the way
I threw myself at them.
01:07:24.467 --> 01:07:26.267
And I\'ve kind of got, like,
01:07:26.300 --> 01:07:27.433
this, like, idea in my head
01:07:27.467 --> 01:07:29.800
about trying
to, like, reach a balance
01:07:29.833 --> 01:07:31.300
between the two,
01:07:31.333 --> 01:07:34.300
taking this bodily orientation
I focused on here
01:07:34.333 --> 01:07:36.933
and balancing that
with my usual mental state
01:07:36.967 --> 01:07:40.433
of listening to people
and, like, debating with them
01:07:40.467 --> 01:07:43.967
and trying to meet a balance
between the two of those,
01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:46.533
which is something
I\'d like to do when I get home.
01:07:46.567 --> 01:07:48.400
It\'s nice knowing now that,
01:07:48.433 --> 01:07:53.033
like, I have something fun
that I can go outside and do.
01:08:12.533 --> 01:08:15.533
[people howling]
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:26.400
- Yeah, I\'m really happy
that I came here
01:08:26.433 --> 01:08:30.067
because I got to play outside
most of the time.
01:08:30.100 --> 01:08:31.800
And you can swim.
01:08:31.833 --> 01:08:33.800
You can even bathe.
01:08:33.833 --> 01:08:35.167
It\'s pretty cool.
01:08:35.200 --> 01:08:38.500
Everything is nature now for me.
01:08:38.533 --> 01:08:40.500
That is, when I go camping.
01:08:40.533 --> 01:08:42.500
But when I get back in my house,
I feel...
01:08:42.533 --> 01:08:44.667
I feel like
I\'m living in a factory again,
01:08:44.700 --> 01:08:47.333
where I rely on my house
more than nature.
01:08:47.367 --> 01:08:49.667
But I won\'t
have to worry about that,
01:08:49.700 --> 01:08:53.333
because I\'m going back camping.
01:08:53.367 --> 01:08:56.000
So that\'s going to be fun.
01:08:56.033 --> 01:09:02.100
[acoustic guitar playing]
01:09:03.133 --> 01:09:06.633
[singing together]
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:09:06.667 --> 01:09:11.300
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:09:11.333 --> 01:09:14.700
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:09:14.733 --> 01:09:20.200
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:09:20.233 --> 01:09:22.467
- [singing]
Weather in the great Northwest.
01:09:22.500 --> 01:09:24.133
The city\'s shut down
in the snow,
01:09:24.167 --> 01:09:28.467
swearing it\'s only
three inches deep.
01:09:28.500 --> 01:09:30.633
With a jacket
and some gloves on,
01:09:30.667 --> 01:09:32.967
stumbling steps, crystal stars,
01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:35.467
and I surely will drown.
01:09:35.500 --> 01:09:37.467
[singing together]
Said, do you know
01:09:37.500 --> 01:09:39.633
what that means to me?
01:09:39.667 --> 01:09:41.633
We are so small.
01:09:41.667 --> 01:09:43.800
We can be happy.
01:09:43.833 --> 01:09:47.633
Do you know
what that means to me?
01:09:47.667 --> 01:09:49.967
We are so very small.
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:51.967
We can be free.
01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:55.967
We can be free.
01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:57.967
We are so small.
01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:00.133
We can be free.
01:10:00.167 --> 01:10:04.367
We can be free.
01:10:04.400 --> 01:10:06.533
We are so very small.
01:10:06.567 --> 01:10:09.700
We can be free.
01:10:09.733 --> 01:10:11.333
- [singing] Bow and arrow wars
01:10:11.367 --> 01:10:13.833
and chasing each other
through the forest,
01:10:13.867 --> 01:10:16.167
camouflaged with ferns and moss.
01:10:16.200 --> 01:10:17.900
- Whoo-hoo!
01:10:17.933 --> 01:10:20.267
- [singing] Build ourselves
a sweat lodge,
01:10:20.300 --> 01:10:22.600
ran into the river to cool down,
01:10:22.633 --> 01:10:25.133
and jump right back in.
01:10:25.167 --> 01:10:29.133
[together] Said, do you know
what that means to me?
01:10:29.167 --> 01:10:31.400
We are so small.
01:10:31.433 --> 01:10:33.567
We can be happy.
01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:37.600
Do you know
what that means to me?
01:10:37.633 --> 01:10:39.433
We are so very small.
01:10:39.467 --> 01:10:42.767
We can be free.
01:10:42.800 --> 01:10:44.433
Ooh, ooh.
01:10:44.467 --> 01:10:49.533
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:11:00.067 --> 01:11:04.267
[Sigur Rós\' Gobbledigook
playing]
01:11:04.300 --> 01:11:10.300
[lively instrumental music]
01:12:30.500 --> 01:12:31.733
- I got to admit.
01:12:31.767 --> 01:12:37.733
I am having some crazy
screen cravings right now.
01:12:37.767 --> 01:12:39.567
Not for the games,
01:12:39.600 --> 01:12:41.900
but, like,
there\'s a lot of stuff
01:12:41.933 --> 01:12:43.800
that I want to look up
on the internet.
01:12:43.833 --> 01:12:45.467
- I don\'t think I can do this
for much longer,
01:12:45.500 --> 01:12:46.800
because, like, seriously,
01:12:46.833 --> 01:12:48.633
it\'s harder than I thought
it would be.
01:12:48.667 --> 01:12:53.800
It\'s, like, hard times 20
to the thousandth degree,
01:12:53.833 --> 01:12:56.700
because it\'s just really hard.
01:12:56.733 --> 01:12:58.200
- I guess
it\'s not screen cravings.
01:12:58.233 --> 01:13:01.100
It\'s more of, like,
information cravings.
01:13:01.133 --> 01:13:03.600
Yeah, I like that better.
01:13:03.633 --> 01:13:05.700
I\'m craving information.
01:13:05.733 --> 01:13:09.267
[cell phone playing pop song]
01:13:09.300 --> 01:13:12.600
- Yeah, so today I was suspended
from school,
01:13:12.633 --> 01:13:15.933
so I just
was on MySpace all day basically
01:13:15.967 --> 01:13:17.633
and texting
and talking on the phone.
01:13:17.667 --> 01:13:20.967
- Still having
information cravings.
01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:22.800
Yeah, that\'s no fun.
01:13:22.833 --> 01:13:24.967
- The media fast
is kind of hard for me
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:28.633
because it\'s just, like,
I don\'t know.
01:13:28.667 --> 01:13:29.900
It\'s just really hard for me
01:13:29.933 --> 01:13:31.600
to stay away
from the computer and stuff.
01:13:37.833 --> 01:13:38.967
- Plus, that guitar piece
01:13:39.000 --> 01:13:40.567
that they have playing
in the background
01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:42.567
seems, like, really simple,
just kind of...
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:45.233
It reminds me a little
of Enter Sandman, actually,
01:13:45.267 --> 01:13:49.400
like the whole,
like, rhythm of it.
01:13:49.433 --> 01:13:54.400
Mm, da, da, da, da, da.
01:13:54.433 --> 01:13:59.400
It goes dun, dun, dun,
dun-dun-dun-dun.
01:13:59.433 --> 01:14:02.300
- Kind of strange
how much it means to me.
01:14:02.333 --> 01:14:03.633
A television, you know,
01:14:03.667 --> 01:14:05.300
like, it shouldn\'t mean
that much to you
01:14:05.333 --> 01:14:06.467
if you miss it,
01:14:06.500 --> 01:14:08.467
or you shouldn\'t be upset
and frustrated.
01:14:08.500 --> 01:14:09.967
So it\'s just weird,
01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:13.967
because I feel like
I\'m missing out on so much
01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:16.633
by not going on MySpace,
which I love.
01:14:16.667 --> 01:14:19.300
And, like, I feel like
I\'m just going to be so, like...
01:14:19.333 --> 01:14:21.467
It\'s so hard.
01:14:21.500 --> 01:14:24.633
- Seriously,
society has made media,
01:14:24.667 --> 01:14:26.300
like, a part of everyday life.
01:14:26.333 --> 01:14:28.700
Like, you can\'t live without it.
01:14:28.733 --> 01:14:33.367
I... I just can\'t do it anymore,
really.
01:14:33.400 --> 01:14:36.200
I\'m just kind of tired of it.
01:14:36.233 --> 01:14:40.833
- I feel like
I could change a little bit
01:14:40.867 --> 01:14:45.133
and, like, how much computer
and cell phone use I do.
01:14:45.167 --> 01:14:48.100
Maybe just, like, go outside
and walk to the mall
01:14:48.133 --> 01:14:49.133
or something like that.
01:14:49.167 --> 01:14:50.467
I\'m always inside.
01:14:50.500 --> 01:14:51.633
It\'s kind of weird
01:14:51.667 --> 01:14:53.500
to kind of think about
that kind of stuff.
01:14:53.533 --> 01:14:55.000
- Instead of you controlling it,
01:14:55.033 --> 01:14:57.167
the technology controls you.
01:14:57.200 --> 01:15:00.400
And that happened to me
a while back.
01:15:00.433 --> 01:15:03.400
And, you know, it\'s just...
That\'s not how it is anymore.
01:15:03.433 --> 01:15:06.067
And it\'s good,
because life\'s much better.
01:15:06.100 --> 01:15:07.900
And when you\'re not...
01:15:07.933 --> 01:15:11.567
Like, when you got
this little wire
01:15:11.600 --> 01:15:14.567
or umbilical cord
attached to your computer
01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:17.033
because you need it, you know?
01:15:17.067 --> 01:15:18.200
There\'s a virtual world
01:15:18.233 --> 01:15:19.867
where you might not
be missing out,
01:15:19.900 --> 01:15:24.533
but then there\'s the real world,
which you will be living in.
01:15:24.567 --> 01:15:27.700
You\'re definitely missing out.
01:16:36.333 --> 01:16:37.800
- Since the beginning of time,
01:16:37.833 --> 01:16:41.333
human beings have sat
around fires, telling stories.
01:16:41.367 --> 01:16:42.467
Who are we?
01:16:42.500 --> 01:16:43.500
Why are we here?
01:16:43.533 --> 01:16:44.833
Where are we going?
01:16:44.867 --> 01:16:46.833
We don\'t tell that story
anymore.
01:16:46.867 --> 01:16:47.900
I mean, the chances are,
01:16:47.933 --> 01:16:49.733
we sit around a television tube
01:16:49.767 --> 01:16:51.900
or a screen on your computer,
01:16:51.933 --> 01:16:53.633
and that\'s where
we get our stories.
01:16:53.667 --> 01:16:56.133
And it\'s basically that
the planet is there
01:16:56.167 --> 01:16:59.300
for us to use
in any way we want.
01:16:59.333 --> 01:17:03.367
That\'s been the message,
the story of the 20th century.
01:17:03.400 --> 01:17:05.367
Now we\'re in the 21st century.
01:17:05.400 --> 01:17:07.167
We need a different story.
01:17:07.200 --> 01:17:08.233
And I believe that
01:17:08.267 --> 01:17:10.400
the story we need
is not a new one.
01:17:10.433 --> 01:17:11.800
It\'s an old one.
01:17:11.833 --> 01:17:15.467
We have forgotten
the most fundamental truth,
01:17:15.500 --> 01:17:18.200
that however sophisticated
we are,
01:17:18.233 --> 01:17:23.033
we are related
to the web of living things.
01:17:23.067 --> 01:17:25.800
That\'s why we need nature.
01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:57.000
[exotic percussive music]
01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:07.433
- If every child on the planet
01:19:07.467 --> 01:19:11.600
could wake up tomorrow morning
knowing one thing,
01:19:11.633 --> 01:19:14.467
what would you want it to be?
01:19:16.900 --> 01:19:19.867
- To all of the adults
watching this film
01:19:19.900 --> 01:19:22.200
and the older ones, the better,
01:19:22.233 --> 01:19:25.367
I\'d ask, do you remember
from your childhood,
01:19:25.400 --> 01:19:27.533
where were those magical places?
01:19:27.567 --> 01:19:29.700
What were the magical
experiences?
01:19:29.733 --> 01:19:32.700
Now ask yourself,
are those places,
01:19:32.733 --> 01:19:34.867
are those experiences
still available
01:19:34.900 --> 01:19:37.900
for my children
and grandchildren?
01:20:17.233 --> 01:20:20.567
- Can you tell me a little bit
about where you play?
