"The Coddling of the American Mind" became a best-selling book in 2018 by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. Now it is a film by filmmaker Ted Balaker. Through the eyes of students from different universities, the film reveals how group-think, fear of cancellation, and race and gender-based orthodoxies that dominate campus life contribute to intellectual and emotional fragility, and undermine a university's core mission of knowledge-seeking in a culture of free and open debate. It examines the unintended consequences of overprotection and ideological polarization on campuses and beyond, and explores how shifts in parenting, education, and culture have contributed to a generation struggling with resilience, free speech, and mental well-being. (USA, 2024, 93 min., color, DCP).
