For many girls around
the world motherhood comes all too quickly – and
often it can be dangerous. Complications from
pregnancy and childbirth are the leading causes of
death among teenage girls in developing countries.
We went to India, where many girls marry early and
have several children before they are 20. The
programme also examines the situation in the UK,
which has one of the highest rates of teenage
pregnancies in Europe. This film looks at the girls’
experiences and the contrast in maternal care
available in Europe and Asia.
Part of a 28 x
25-minute documentary series produced for the BBC.
These films can be bought individually or as a
