28 AUG 2025 · Welcome to KIDS FIRST! Coming Attractions — your VIP pass to the silver screen, packed with authentic, kid-powered insights! Today, our reporters Isabelle V. and Hadley B. are here to share their thoughts on the short film, The Short Game. If you think golf is a snoozefest, this film will definitely change your mind. In fact, you don’t even have to love golf to enjoy it—you just have to care about people. We love that the story is shown through the eyes of a teenager filming a documentary.
The film's message is to treat others with kindness, as there's always more to a person than what you see on the surface. Be forewarned, however, that it does contain some mild profanity, as well as depictions of death and bullying.
The Short Game is available in theaters on August 29, 2025.
