Babies

Last night the St. Anthony Health Foundation in conjunction with the Denver Film Society’s Women+Film program hosted a Citywide Baby Shower at the Starz FilmCenter to benefit Bloom, a comprehensive prenatal care program for teens created by the Certified Nurse-Midwives at St. Anthony Central Hospital. With a donation, we were treated to a reception and an early screening of the film, Babies.

Babies simultaneously follows the lives of 4 babies from around the world: Mongolia, Japan, Namibia, and San Francisco. It was interesting how different and yet similar their lives are. One baby lives in a yurt on the plains of Mongolia and another in a hut in Africa, but they both share the same look of pure joy when they stand on their own for the first time.



If you find babies adorable and entertaining, then watch this movie (it opens this weekend). If you don't really enjoy them, then you should probably skip it. Have to say though...these babies were pretty funny.
