A Day in the Life of Woody showcases the unschooled life of 11-year-old Blackwood, a boy who has been schooled from home all his life. There’s not much missing in a day spent with Woody that you wouldn’t find in the life of most 11-year-old Australian boys – bows & arrows, playing cricket, family time, learning time… but there’s a difference here. From growing the tree to make his future bows & arrows to skillfully handling a chainsaw as he helps his dad manage the local commons forest, Woody’s daily life is both similar and very different to the average young boy’s. Told entirely from Woody’s perspective, this 12-minute film shares an inspiring insight into one young boy’s experience of the world.
