The Raising of America
The Raising of America is a powerful documentary that explores questions vital to future of families and to America: Why are so many children in America faring so poorly? What are the consequences for the nation’s future? How might we, as a nation, do better? How can we protect the future of children and families? Is education a powerful determinant of health? The series investigates these questions through different lenses: What does science tell us about the enduring importance of early life experiences on the brain and body? What it is like to be a parent today? In addition, what policies and structures help or hinder the raising of healthy, happy and compassionate children?
After viewing, there will be a panel discussion to add further insights into the film’s compelling message.
