Fifty years ago, a boat left New York with a cargo of powdered milk for the hungry children of post-war Europe. It was the first undertaking of the UN's International Children's Emergency Fund. Initially conceived as a short-term measure, UNICEF went on to become a leading world advocate for children's welfare and is commemorating its 50th anniversary this year. Children First! showcases award-winning NFB shorts dealing with children's rights and the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child. Diane Chartrand's The Orange is a touching tale of how children help a hungry classmate. Janet Perlman's Dinner for Two is a light-hearted lesson in conflict resolution, and Eugene Fedorenko's Oscar-winning Every Child is an engaging reflection on every child's right to a name and nationality. Rounding out the selection are Michèle Cournoyer's An Artist a beautifully rendered story of a parent's awakening to his young daughter's potential abilities, and Martine Chartrand's TV Tango, a comic critique of mass media and its impact on children. Francine Desbiens's To See the World is a fitting tale of a boy who witnesses the suffering of the world's children through a train window, and envisions solutions which ensure happy, healthy children everywhere. Finally, a child's right to a future in which dreams may be fulfilled is examined in Why? by Brestislav Pojar.

À l'étape du prévisionnage, demandez aux élèves ce qu’ils pensent de la télé.
Est-ce une bonne chose? Leurs parents les autorisent-ils à regarder ce qu'ils
veulent en tout temps? Demandez-leur de dresser la liste des raisons pour
lesquelles il est préférable de ne pas regarder la télé. Invitez-les à
fabriquer une affiche qui énonce des lignes directrices sur la façon de
visionner la télé. Pour les élèves du cours de français, langue seconde ou
d'anglais, langue seconde, ce film pourrait constituer une introduction au
thème des activités et des passe-temps. Quelles activités pouvons-nous faire
plutôt que de regarder la télé?
