Screened Out
It is a documentary directed by Jon Hyatt, a father of three young boys who asked himself “Is my family Screen Addicted?” The answer was Yes. So he set out to make a film about how we become addicted and what we can do to address the problem. Jon recognized that parents are on the frontlines of this “battle” with our devices. The film’s message is NOT that screen time is bad, it’s about HOW we spend time on our screens. Screened Out does an excellent job of highlighting and analyzing the problem. The film includes interviews with medical experts, leaders of organizations, educators, parents and students.
