Thanks for the memories. How children remember
Description
Do our brains store experiences from our first few months of life? What happens to children who witness disturbing events before age two? How does being unwanted affect a baby? This program explores the personal significance of memory and examines the developmental stages at which meaningful awareness is formed. Visiting a group of 25 children, the film observes them as they turn two years old and studies the relationship between their memories and their current state. Among them are troubled Charlotte, who has converted her fear and sadness into bad behavior, and Jamie, whose mother has had difficulty forming an attachment to him.
