At the age of 16, Tim is an intelligent but shy young man gifted with a natural athletic ability for running. However, the last four years have been tough on him because of Jeff and his crew. In his last year of high school, Tim is sick and tired of feeling like a loser and wants to shine for once. He decides to stand up to Jeff by dethroning him in the 800 m championship, the event Jeff is known for in school. But behind the competition and rivalry, a secret is wreaking havoc. Tim tells both his running coach and his father, both of whom want to help him, that “Either you shut up and do absolutely nothing. Or you shut up and take care of it yourself. I choose option two.”
Young people spend an average of 6.5 hours a day on cell phones, computers and other devices. That doesn't include the time they use screens for school and homework. 'Screenagers: How Much Screen Time is Healthy?' is a documentary that explores how much screen time is too much. It delves deep into the science behind screen time to understand how it affects young people's minds and development and explores how learning, playing and socializing online affects teens' developing attention span, fragile self-esteem and moral instincts. It also offers solutions to handle screen time and provides parents with tools to help young people develop self-control and find balance in their digital lives.
