Dinner At 11

Dinner parties can be minefields for adults with prickly conversations about house prices, schools and immigration over the starters. But what would happen if all the dinner party guests were aged around 11 years old? Dinner at 11 is a surprising, thought-provoking, touching and often funny insight into what's important to these young people - all of whom were born in the 21st-century and many of whom will be able to vote in 2020 - and what it means to be a child today. The children come from a range of backgrounds and have very different experiences and opinions. But over a three-course meal - prepared by equally young chefs, naturally - they say what they really think about issues ranging from family, parenting, marriage and divorce to politics, education, relationships and bullying. What do kids today care about? What makes them excited, angry or anxious? Are they still 'children' at 11, or are some more adult in their outlook? How would they like to see the world change? And what do they hope for in when they grow up? All of this is revealed in this insightful, funny and poignant film.
