Growin' up not a child

Growin' Up Not A Child follows the lives of children living in dangerous communities who are making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. This one hour documentary examines what support structures these children need in order to overcome their predicaments; what effects their surroundings have on their cognitive and emotional development; and how they make sense of the seemingly senseless brutality that they witness in their daily lives. The program is told from the point of view of the child.
