Babies…it’s not what you think

So there’s a movie coming out called Babies. I didn’t think too much of it…until I saw the trailer! The movie chronicles the first year or so (?) of 4 babies in 4 places: San Francisco, Tokyo, Mongolia, and Namibia. This is a great opportunity to see into the lives of people in those places…and [...]
