Team 8 – Screen Time, Real Tension

Description

At a casual dinner party, five guests from different professional backgrounds—Psychology, Biomedical Science, Social Work, Nursing, and Education—gather for what begins as friendly conversation. But when the topic of children and digital technology comes up, the atmosphere quickly shifts. Each guest brings their unique perspective, backed by personal experience and professional values, sparking a heated debate over whether screen time is harming or helping today’s children. As tensions rise and misunderstandings surface, the group is challenged to move beyond debate. Through a restorative conversation, they begin to listen, reflect, and realize that their diverse views are not in opposition—but part of a shared goal: supporting children's well-being in a digital age. This short film explores conflict escalation, emotional triggers, and ultimately, the power of interdisciplinary collaboration.
