  "Critical What?!" is a fun, bold, and uplifting documentary that follows nine ordinary ten to fifteen year olds as they find their extraordinary voice in a world that often feels hopeless.  

It started with Parker and Tavi's simple question:

“Why are people sleeping on the street?” They were ten years old.
The nine kids would soon discover that adults were arguing about what they were “allowed” to learn about.

Across the country, laws were passed to ban conversations about injustice in schools. But instead of staying quiet, nine youth, ages ten to fifteen, picked up cameras and did the opposite.

They asked hard questions.
They challenged book bans.
They explored homelessness, gender bias, tech inequality, and school fairness.
They laughed, argued, messed up, and kept going.

Critical What?! follows their journey from self-doubt to confidence — from feeling powerless to realizing their voices matter.

These kids don’t just make films.
They become changemakers.

And now, we want to share their stories with classrooms, communities, and audiences everywhere.
