Raising Children: Ponijao chewed on a dirt-covered bone. Bayar climbed naked on a rusty barrel in a field of roaming cows. A person living in a first-world might ask, where were their parents? Where is this child’s safety net and protection? But consider this: there are negative implications to overprotection. There are a multitude of different perspectives about raising children. After watching this, have your thoughts on how to raise children changed at all? How and why?
Culture & Play: Did you notice the difference of how U.S. parents play and interacted with their children? What conclusions can you draw about the influences of culture and parental support on children’s play? Which scenes in this film most clearly indicate to you the interconnectedness (the similarity) in all human behavior? While each story is unique, what are some universal themes that run through each child’s story?
Central Themes: In what way did this movie most impact you? What is the central theme you walked away with after viewing this film? How might this film affect your own professional diversity statement?
