‘The Eternal Children‘ is a documentary directed by David Kleijwegt (2006). Shown in 6 parts below, it’s about a group of musicians, including Devendra Banhart, Anthony & The Johnsons, CocoRosie and others, who share a common spirituality and lyrical understanding of the world.
Young and colourful musicians, ‘with their eyes wde-open’, but not naive, but with hope; a young generation that shifts away from the rage and depression of early 90s, as Anthony Hegarty remarks.
Someone said once, ‘when I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.’

because the idea give me breath in this world of speed violence and grownups who are not to be reached.
