Risking Our Kids

Streaming video - 2015

Exploring the 'Modernity Paradox', could we be the last generation of humans that live longer than our parents? Have we lost sight of how to care for our kids? Fiona Stanley puts forward a powerful argument for the need to protect the future of our kids. A spark ignited in Fiona Stanley, when as a young medical intern, she was unable to improve the health of a young Aboriginal boy because of the environment he lived in. His death set her on a blazing path to champion the lives of our nation's children. She has dedicated her life to providing us with sophisticated scientific tools for change. Forty years later her news is not good. Fiona, through meticulously collected research, predicts that the next generation will be the fi...rst to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents because of the physical and social toxicity of their environment.
