18.09.2024A nice film, but I'm happy that my child is not growing up in the UK, it looks depressing!

18.09.2024What's great was total lack of visible adults, and that's how we remember the best play. Great to challenge the misconception that no kids play out.

18.09.2024I vividly remember I would play basket ball with my friends even tho there was a no ball sign. One day a Jamaican lady took our ball and started swearing at us. That same night I cried until morning. That’s a memory I’ll never forget.
