In Japan, 98 percent of children walk to school. In the United States, only 13 percent do. It’s time for a change.

The documentary The Slow Way Home looks at how students travel to school in Japan & US, considers why so few kids in the U.S. walk to school, and asks what WE can do to change that. It also features students, families, and local celebrities from Milwaukie, Oregon City, and Portland, OR!
