By age 8, children are resourceful enough to survive on their own. If they have to. What they don't have is wisdom of the ages. They are bound to recreate the regrets from which their ancestors already learned. A lack of loving adult guidance will have its impacts.
Reality TV is not harmless. For the children who participated in Kit Nation it left its scars. They won't be the only victims. All those involved, audience included, may never fully appreciate the impact of this social experiment.

Each civilization goes into decline and the Western Civilization is not immune to this natural cycle. The fact that this show has been permitted to progress to the point where we are even discussing it is indicative enough of how far we are down the path of decline.
The Painted Bird is a story of what happens when a child is forced to find his own way in the world. He was thrust into this situation due to a nation bent on ethnic cleansing and parents who tried to protect him and give him a chance they didn't feel they had. In the end, we never know what would have been or who he would have been.
Once an experience has been realized, there is no going back. We are not talking about censorship. There is a fine line between free speech and protecting yourself from experiences that change who you are and force you to become part of something that changes your own path and effectively prevents the realization of a positive potential. Innocence should be protected and allowed to grow into maturity at a natural pace. Not thrust through artificial interference for the sake of pushing entertainment boundaries.
