Family Circles (Les Parents) is a 1949 short documentary film directed by Morten Parker and produced by Gudrun Parker and Tom Daly for the National Film Board of Canada.[1]
The film shows how the interplay of home and school influences the development of children. The experiences of three children illustrate vividly how parental indifference, lack of imagination, and emotional conflict at home can destroy the confidence and enthusiasm necessary for a child's success at school.[2][3][4][5]
