Unplugged – Short Film

Internet Use and Our Children’s Future:

The internet has undeniably transformed how young people spend their leisure time. While it offers valuable resources and connections, concerns about excessive use are growing. It’s crucial that society takes collective action to ensure we don’t lose control of this situation.

Beyond investing in parks and playgrounds, we must prioritize engaging directly with our children. By fostering open communication, creating meaningful offline experiences, and promoting responsible digital habits, we can empower them to navigate the online world safely and productively.

This short film, made in Ithaca, Greece, explores this important theme.
