Review of Talking 2 Sophia


A touching perspective on 9/11, through the eyes of a two year old child. As Sophia's father grapples with how much truth to tell his daughter, she displays a disarming understanding of what happened. "Our building is okay," she reassures herself. But is it? The recent images of New Orleans come to mind. Children today have a lot more to worry about than if Santa is real. Sensitively written and narrated, this gently paced piece should find a place on any station on September 11th - or in any discussion about the impact of television images on young hearts and minds.
