This film explores the 'modernity paradox': that we may be the last generation that lives longer than our parents. Modern life may be providing comfort and material gain but we are also being led into life-styles that may be shortening the lives of our children. Through the work of Fiona Stanley, an outspoken advocate for the health and well-being of young people, the film puts forward a powerful argument for the need to question the basic assumptions about the way we live.

'Should be seen by any parent and educator interested in contemporary societal well-being.' – Dr Michael Kindler, ACT Department of Education
