Age 11 is a bittersweet time. It is an age where one is not yet jaded and can still maintain an optimism and idealism about the world, while also becoming faintly aware of how scary and unjust it can be. It is truly the last year of unbridled innocence, the last hurrah of being a kid, and that fleeting spirit is captured marvelously in the new film I Am Eleven which is now headed towards limited theatrical release on September 12th.
We highly recommend this movie for families to watch together. The only criticism we have is that there is not enough follow up with the kids afterwards when they were older…just a few are featured, and too soon after the initial interviews to really see big changes in most.
