Explain the subject and contemporary issues surrounding your product.Bébés is a documentary directed by Thomas Balmes who had the idea from Alain Chabat. The action is taking place today in four different countries and in four very different contexts. These babies are documented from birth to just one year old and show four different perspectives on how different cultures raise their children. From a tribe in Nambia, an isolated place in Mongolia, a large city in Japan, to San Francisco, California; babies is based on the common theme of human discovery, interaction and love. The director is a father of three children and originally from France. He filmed Babies for two years, immersing himself in the lives of the four families who allowed him to witness their babies' spectacular first year. Nothing in the film was scripted or rehearsed, just raw natural footage from his camera capturing the greatest miracle of life, the diversity of human beings and the different environments in which these babies grow. Thomas was able to witness miracles that he could never have written about, and through his camera, he was able to share them with the public. Unless you despise babies or children, there is a huge audience for this film. The intended audience is not only those who have welcomed a child, but also those who are interested in what it means to be a human, discover new things and witness miracle after miracle. Thomas made the documentary without a narrator, without subtitles and without interference, letting the images he filmed...... middle of paper ......with the director of Babies, Thomas Balmès.
