Description
This format takes us into one of the most sensitive and carefully protected environments on earth, a high-pressure world filled with tears, laughter, drama, politics, power struggles and larger-than-life characters, a world that has never before been subject to the scrutiny of the camera’s lens.
Watch as 10 four year old children meet for the first time at nursery and interact in unprecedented, intimate detail.
Thought-provoking, entertaining and genuinely surprising, this is an utterly compelling look into a young child’s behaviour.
