Calling all fans of knights, fantasy, and the environment! “The Hoods,” a group of neighborhood kids lead by spirited and tenacious 11 year-old Robin, rule over a patch of woods they call the Kingdom, where they dive into imaginative fantasy games. The film visually toggles between the kids’ vivid perspective—complete with real armored knights, magical battles, and thunderbolts—with the reality of cardboard armor and toy arrows. While facing off against a rival gang determined to claim their domain, they must also contend with a ruthless property developer who plans to turn their beloved play area into a concrete leisure facility. Inspired by the Robin Hood legend, Robin and her friends band together to save their cherished “Kingdom.” Age 8+
