CWAS - Programs and Field Trips

This is a moving and humorous documentary following 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!
