In this documentary, Richard Louv (Vitamin N and Last Child in the Woods) and Mark Tercek (The Nature Conservancy) frame the national crisis of children and youth spending less time outside engaged with nature and provide a simple solution in which we can all take part. http://www.naturemattersfilm.com

NaturePlay - Take Childhood Back
Daniel Stilling & Aimie Stilling
This stunning, award-winning documentary takes the viewer on an inspiring education journey to the Nordic North in a cinematic portrait of childhood, education and play. Filmed in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the USA, NaturePlay portrays the Scandinavian method of teaching, living and enjoying nature, juxtaposed with the high stakes testing/high stress edu culture of "rigor.” The film has won seven international awards, including one for cinematography and a Global Humanitarian Award. Including Matt Damon. | www.natureplayfilm.com
