Babies [Blu-ray]

Movie / Show Details

Babies is a 2010 documentary directed by Thomas Balmes that follows four infants through their first year of life across four distinct environments: rural Namibia, rural Mongolia, urban Tokyo, and urban San Francisco. The film observes Ponijao, Bayarjargal, Mari, and Hattie as they grow and develop, revealing how babies from different cultures and backgrounds reach similar milestones despite vastly different parenting approaches and living conditions. By capturing these parallel journeys, the film celebrates the universal experience of infancy and the fundamental human connections that transcend geography and tradition.
