The documentary 56 Up provided a unique view of human development by tracking the lives of fourteen British individuals over several decades, revealing how social class, career choices, and aging shape each person’s journey. Through a longitudinal approach, I saw how early life experiences and societal influences impact growth over time. 

The documentary Babies provided a unique perspective on how cultural and environmental factors shape early childhood development, following four infants from Namibia, Mongolia, Japan, and the U.S. Watching each baby navigate their unique surroundings highlighted both the diversity and universality of early development stages, like curiosity, social bonding, and motor skills. This film deepened my understanding of how culture influences growth from infancy, showcasing the impact of diverse parenting practices across the globe
