Description

This award-winning documentary explores how something as simple as exercise can be used to address our society’s seemingly impossible-to-solve challenges. The United States stopped teaching classical Physical Education 100 years ago, which did not resemble ‘PE’ as it is known today. JFK tried to bring classical Physical Education back, but that ended with his shortened Presidency. It wasn’t about balls and sports; it was about addressing a basic human requirement…one we have ignored as a population and pay the consequences for its absence every day. This documentary explores the pivotal role Physical Education plays to develop smart, productive & mentally stable citizens. It shows an eye-opening connection between the lack of activity today and the ever-growing burdens we face. This 4 year film project interviewed over 250 of the the world's leading scientists, physicians, educators, students and alumni. It’s the most comprehensive look at ‘why’ we must exercise.

    The Motivation Factor was great! I enjoyed the movie because it taught me a lot about what a PE classroom looks like with motivation in the students. They can achieve much more than what they thought possible. The idea they have about awarding students to challenge them is great.

    The documentary showed the huge role that physical education plays on society! It really made me want to make a difference in the world through physical education. It also made me realize just how important health and physical education is to our society. The film is vital and necessary for the next generation and beyond. I really loved the aspect of connecting mind, body, and spirit.

    This is an eye opening documentary for anyone in the physical education field. It shows how physical education should be and how we’ve gotten away from what needs to be done in this field.

    It was a very good movie, especially for Health and PE Majors who are going into this field. It shows what PE used to be like and it shows a modern school doing PE correctly. Not many people or schools do things loke they used and notmany people or schools get out of their kids what they need to be achieving. So, this movie does a good job of showing and representing what we should be doing in our schools for Physical Education
  • A necessity!
