BABIES
Documentary
STARRING
Ponijao, the Namibian baby girl
Mari, the baby girl living in Tokyo
Bayar, the Mongolian baby boy
Hattie, the baby girl living in San Francisco
REVIEW
A most unusual documentary in that there is no narration, no story line and very little music. As such we are left to make our own observations, to draw our own conclusions, to see things from our personal perspective.
The four newborn babies followed through their first year of life were obviously chosen to get a cross-section of humanity in two widely different socio-economic strata and being born into completely different ways of life.
The antics of babies being babies often provoke smiles and sometimes real laughs. It brings to mind how much we all have in common, despite being born to different parents and raised in different cultures.
CLASSIFICATION
for cultural and maternal infant nudity throughout.
