Being and Becoming

About This Movie

Being and Becoming is this intriguing documentary that dives into the whole idea of unschooling. It’s not your typical educational film; it really gets into the philosophy of letting children learn in a more organic way. The pacing feels contemplative, almost like a journey through different cultures—US, Germany, France, and the UK—all contrasting on education norms. The cinematography captures a sort of rawness that complements the theme of freedom and trust in children's innate curiosity. It’s less about pushing agendas and more about exploring choices, which gives it an authentic vibe. You can sense the passion behind the interviews, and it definitely sparks conversation among viewers about education and autonomy.
