A.I. Artificial Intelligence

2001

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) is an American sci-fi film directed by Steven Spielberg.

Set in the future, the film features Jaley Joel Osment as David, a childlike android programmed to give and receive love.

David is given to Monica (Frances O’Connor) and Henry Swinton (Sam Robards) because their son, Martin (Jake Thomas), has a rare disease and been placed in suspended animation.

When Martin unexpectedly recovers, he returns home and is jealous of David.

Monica and Henry decide that David should be returned to his creators and destroyed, but on the way, Monica abandons David in the woods.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
