Synopsis by Karla Baker
Previously seen as an ABC television special in March of 1997, this documentary features Oprah Winfrey, kids and adults speaking about their childhood. Onscreen, children tell stories of the every day horrors many of them face such as AIDS and abuse, while also conveying the innocence and purity of childhood. This critically acclaimed program earned a five star rating from the New York Post and won a 1998 Seal of Approval from the brainplay.com educational website dedicated to "Smart Choices for Growing Kids". The subject matter of this 90 minute video is inappropriate for young children.
