The documentary "Bébé(s)" (called "Babies" in English) shows the infancy of four different children in different countries. The absence of narration shows how the tykes grow up based on the different cultures. The infants in the US and Japan get all of life's modern conveniences, while the infants in Namibia and Mongolia grow up amid their peoples' traditional ways.
Watching the Namibian and Mongolian families, I wondered if they realized that they would get seen by moviegoers worldwide. Whether or not they did, it's an impressive documentary, letting viewers see the different types of cultures. It's probably worth noting that on the subject of Namibia, this month marked the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the South West African People's Organization (SWAPO), which fought against apartheid South Africa's occupation of Namibia (and last month was the thirtieth anniversary of Namibia's independence from South Africa).
Anyway, this is a documentary that everyone should see as a look at the different cultures of the world. I recommend it.
