Vegetarian Star

"Babies" Poster

Babies is a 2009 French documentary chronicling the lives of four children in different countries and cultures, from birth until one years of age.

The stars of Babies are Ponijao from Opuwo, Namibia; Mari from Tokyo, Japan; Bayar from Bayanchandmani, Mongolia; and Hattie from San Francisco, USA.

Hattie is the child of two vegetarian parents who are very much into green living. Obviously their diet and lifestyle sets them apart from the majority of Americans, and in an interview with LilSugar, mom Susie Wise indicated the film has inspired her to allow her child to grow up thinking even more freely.

LilSugar: Did watching the way other babies are raised around the world affect your parenting style?
Susie Wise: We are trying to be thoughtful and not over reactive and not germaphobic and not OCD so I kind of find looking at the other things reinforcing in the direction that we’re kind of trying to go. Obviously we live in a city — we’re definitely contemporary American people. We’re not living on the fringe in any particular way. I find it inspiring because I would like to be more and more low key and allow Hattie to be who she wants to be and experience the world pretty freely. It’s hard to do here and it’s a reminder for us to seek out those opportunities.
