<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think it depends how old the child is. I
showed it to my daughter who is in primary school. She has already heard
of these issues having just read a book for her age group (10-11yrs) where the
main character came from a household of domestic violence. My daughter
thought that the film was 'important'. She also said that she would be ok
to act out something if she thought that the message in it was important and was
for helping others.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the other hand my 8 year old son thought it was
a film about a little girl who was horrible to her dolls and she shouldn't be
behaving like that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that if the 'actor' has been chosen because
she looks young then perhaps she could be the same age as my daughter and well
able to understand the issues. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to think that the parents would have
discussed all of the issues with the 'actor' before proceeding.....</FONT></DIV>

must say, I agree with your concerns. Powerful film, but as an early childhood
educator, I am extremely conflicted about this. There was a duty of care
towards the wellbeing of the young child acting in this film, and I wonder if
the possible benefits deriving from the film (that is, raising awareness of
domestic violence and its effect upon children) justify the potential harm
inflicted upon the child involved.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">All I can think is, what about
this young "actor" who is doing this? What is she thinking as she says
all of these horrible things? You can't, even in an acting context, make
this sound like "pretend" can you? It's an incredible film, unbelievable
(and incredibly important message of course), but I'm so conflicted about the
reality of making it.<o:p></o:p></P>
