4 Babies + 4 Countries makes for a GREAT movie

Tonight my hubby & I had an awesome date night at the press screening of the upcoming movie BABIES! If you haven’t seen the previews yet, BABIES is a documentary following one baby from 4 different countries (USA, Japan, Mongolia & Namibia) for the first year of their lives.  You might think… documentary… um – no thanks. BUT think twice! This film is really well put together and full of funny moments and heart captivating scenes.

I can't wait to see the movie BABIES

I am so excited that I get to attend a screening of this movie next week! I first saw the preview months and months ago and have been so intrigued by it. Having spent time with women in villages of other countries myself, and seeing the BIG difference in how babies are raised across the world, I am really interested to see how these world differences are portrayed in the movie.
