Summary: "One generation from now most people in the U.S. will have spent more time in the virtual world than in nature ... At a time when children play more behind screens than outside, Play again explores the changing balance between the virtual and natural worlds ... This moving and humorous documentary follows six teenagers who, like the average American child, spend five to fifteen hours a day behind screens. Play again unplugs these teens and takes them on their first wilderness adventure -- no electricity, no cell phone coverage, no virtual reality"--Ground Productions web site.
