Is it worse to be born poor than to die poor?
130 million babies are born each year, and not one of them decide where they will be born or how they will live. In Cambodia, you are likely to be born to a
family living on less than $1 a day. In Sierra Leone chances of surviving the first year are half those of the worldwide average. Director Brian Hill takes a worldwide trip to meet the newest generation - In the USA, expectant mother Starr's new baby could well be one more of 1.6 million homeless children now living in the streets.
