I saw the documentary Babies by Thomas Balmes this week. The film follows four infants from their birth through their first year of life. A little boy from Namibia and one from Mongolia. A little girl from the USA and one from Japan.
It was very interesting to see the similarities and differences as the children grew both in their nature and in the cultures they are raised in. There is no talking in the documentary and it is a bit slow at times but definitely worth seeing once. I wish they had shown the birth of all the children because it would have been fascinating to see the differences and the similarities.
