The Babies are Coming!

Sounds of Pertussis

Premiering in Theatres Mother's Day Weekend

Just in time for March for Babies 2010, March of Dimes is excited to announce a national partnership with the new Focus Features’ movie BABIES! BABIES opens in theatres May 7th, Mother's Day weekend. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Thomas Balmès, from an original idea by producer Alain Chabat, this film simultaneously follows four babies around the world – from birth to first steps. The children are, respectively, in order of on-screen introduction: Ponijao, who lives with her family near Opuwo, Namibia; Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in Mongolia, near Bayanchandmani; Mari, who lives with her family in Tokyo, Japan; and Hattie, who resides with her family in the United States, in San Francisco. Re-defining the nonfiction art form, BABIES joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.
Make plans to see BABIES with a group. Call 1-800-4BABIES for more information.
