Gorilla Parenting

Starting with footage of kids engaged in play in the relatively adult-free environment of The Jungle Room daycare, we observe the world of kids away from their parents. A world parents rarely get to see. This helps us set up the topic and raise pertinent questions from the parents watching their kids from behind one-way glass. Parents then sit with an expert to discuss what they have seen and debate practical ways they might address the issue, ranging from food to ethics and from humour to grieving. The discussions are intercut with footage from the “Jungle Room“ to illustrate, debunk or further the discussion.
