The Beginning of Life

O Começo da Vida

2016 · 1h 38m · Documentary · Brazil · Rated L (BR)

If we change the beginning of the story, we change the whole story.

One of the greatest neuroscience breakthroughs is having discovered that babies are far more than a genetic load. The development of all human beings lies on the combination of genetics, the quality of the relationships and the environment they are set on. The Beginning of Life invites everyone to reflect: are we taking good care of this unique moment, which defines both the present and future of humankind?
