Exciting News: Screenagers - Now Updated for 2025!

We are thrilled to announce the newly updated version of our groundbreaking original film, Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age.

Award-winning and thought-provoking, the film is now more relevant than ever.

This new version of our film features fresh insights, including from Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation, and several others. 

The update also includes the latest scientific findings on the effects of video gaming, sleep, social media, and the use of phones and smartwatches in schools — and much more. We've also streamlined the content by removing some elements that no longer resonate.

Most importantly, the film has more solutions than ever. We're so excited to see this updated version of our movie spark meaningful conversations. Watch the trailer here:
