An intimate multi-platform documentary about personal and global issues through the eyes of 11 year olds around the world.
Eleven year olds share, in different languages their thoughts on a range of subjects issues such as love, war, global warming, music, terrorism, culture, family, happiness, religion and the future. Each of their situations allows a single glimpse into a young mind, and combine to provide a powerful insight into the future of our world.
“Sometimes I have to remind myself, Grace, don’t grow up too quickly, you’re eleven, just enjoy it while you can.’ Grace, 11, British, living in Czech Republic.
As straight up and personal as the ‘7 Up Series’, and with the comedy and honesty of ‘Spellbound’, this documentary enables us to explore an age where these ‘not quite kids, not quite teenagers’ briefly linger, between the frank openness and sometimes naivety of childhood, and the sharp and surprisingly brave wisdom and knowing of adulthood. As much as it is a story about them, it is a story with them, of what it is like to be eleven today. This documentary and www.iameleven.com presents strikingly personal portrayals of a generation exploring their take on personal and global issues. We invite you to leave comments and interact with our subjects. This site, like its subjects, is growing… so stay tuned.
