Babies

about Babies is a look at a year in the lives of four babies born in different cultures: Tokyo rural Mongolia Namibia San Francisco Recorded over a period of 400 days. Babies do what babies do: they get born; fed, bathed; cry; play; learn to sit; crawl; and walk; and begin to explore their worlds. Differences in parenting and life styles are shown with respect and without judgment.
