Made in the 1980s by Wendy McEvoy, this program is more poignant now than ever. This fascinating documentary will give anyone who works with or is interested in children, an insight into children’s social lives. Filmed over the summer holidays, the program offers a revealing study of the street play of young children (3 to 7 years) living in a cul-de-sac in an English town. Through their games, fantasies, and interactions we get a revealing and unsentimental view of children’s society, showing the importance of the peer group in shaping the child’s social development. As the program develops, it reveals certain aspects of childhood which may dislodge some cosily held views amongst grown ups.
