(Flash Review)
With how overprotective and informed American parents are, ever wonder how parents raise their kids in other parts of the world, such as Africa? This dialog and narrator-free documentary visually show how children from birth to toddler age are raised and the perceived level of freedom the babies have. The film follows four babies from Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco and Tokyo. Babies in Tokyo are mainly in an apartment or at the park compared in contrast by the babies in Namibia who are allowed to roam free in the dirt and around loose and tame animals. Mongolia was similar where a woman went bike riding while holding her newborn. Can't see that ever in America! Many comparisons were how siblings would argue and hit each other, throw tantrums and how all parents snuggled with their babies. Anyway, this had good cinematography and let the viewer relate to the scenes in their own way and it was a unique assembly of footage.
