Packed with stories of human resilience and reinvention, these two films reveal how humans grow from children into adults. For humans, the process of growing up is the most dramatic in the animal kingdom. We’re the only species that needs a ‘teen age’ to accommodate the extreme changes that occur in our bodies and brains. Secret Life of Growing Up meets the people who illustrate how we mature, from the five-year-old girl whose verbal skills saved her mother’s life on a call to the emergency services, to the 100-year-old woman whose yoga practice keeps her young. Each story is presented with the stunning Secret Life of... cinematography that makes the ordinary seem extraordinary.
