What in the World

The First 1,000 Days (7x3)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 16, 2013

The mother named him Michael and we filmed his arrival into the world. Life for the very young in Uganda is precarious. One in nineteen children die before they reach the age of five in Uganda. But an initiative by Irish and US governments is trying to turn that round. The first 1,000 days is all about improving the health and nutrition of children and their mothers. In central Uganda, where one time war lord Joseph Kony held sway, the results are encouraging. Less so in the Karamoja region to the east. How Michael will far in life will be a test of the 1,000 day initiative.
