Chasing childhood is a documentary that explores how modern parenting in the US may have changed across time: as parents seek to keep their children safe and to prepare them for an increasingly competitive society, it seems that parents may unwillingly jeopardize their children’s future. The international film festival Docville played the documentary, which was followed by a live discussion with Stijn Van Petegem, Loes Meeussen, Helena Sienaert, and Marleen Finoulst.
