Follow one man’s ambitious mission to entice his screen-devoted young children – and children everywhere – into nature to reap its huge benefits and rewards.
Exasperated dad-of-two and film-maker David Bond has had enough. Any attempts to tempt his kids into the great outdoors is met with sulks and resistance. Screen time is their favourite time! But armed with his trusty suitcase of tricks, the concern that our children are getting more and more disconnected from nature, and his sheer determination to succeed, he sets off on a nationwide quest to make wild play more appealing to youngsters. Appointing himself marketing director of ‘Nature’, he attempts a total rebrand. This is a delightful, entertaining and thought-provoking film which led to the influential Wild Network movement.
