| Summary |
Every day Australian families race frantically from one extra-curricular activity to the next - from athletics to music lessons, dance classes and math tutoring - the list is long and exhausting. When they aren't racing around they're glued to devices - the merry-go-round of distraction. The result is a generation of permanently frazzled families.We meet three busy Australian families, trapped in the frenetic modern pace of family life. Their days are a whirlwind of activity. The result of which is a growing sense that the joy of life is getting lost in the race to achieve parenting perfection.Enter Carl Honore: on a mission to save Australian kids from our culture of over-parenting. And he comes with a plan. A plan he calls the 'slow fix'. Over four weeks we follow Carl and his 'slow families' as they live the slow experiment. Is slow the answer for these three families? Can they fight the addiction to speed and go cold turkey on a diet of slow?PRODUCTION DETAILS:1 x 60 minutes. 360 Degree Films/Gertrude Films. Co-Director/Producer: Tosca Looby.
