The Committee

About This Movie

The Committee is a curious little documentary that takes a peek into the minds of children grappling with the concept of money and decision-making. Set in a youth center in Bow, London, you really get a sense of the atmosphere – it’s genuine, raw. The kids, all around 11, discuss how they’d allocate a budget of 7000 pounds, and it’s fascinating to see their thought processes unfold. The pacing feels natural, not rushed, allowing their personalities to shine through. Themes of values, community, and the innocence of childhood decision-making are palpable. There’s something refreshing about how unfiltered their opinions are – it’s not just about the money, but the lessons they draw from the experience. The overall tone is both playful and serious, making it quite distinctive in the realm of documentaries.
