00:00:06.430 --> 00:00:09.339
- 178 world leaders gathered
in Rio today...

00:00:09.340 --> 00:00:10.639
- They are calling it
the summit that

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.869
will save the planet.

followed the lives of 11

00:00:16.610 --> 00:00:22.179
children born in 10 countries
across the world, all born at

00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:24.829
the time of the Rio
Earth Summit...

00:00:24.830 --> 00:00:27.879
The first time world leaders
had got together to promise

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:30.539
future generations
a better world.

00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:36.169

the Earth will cheat man.

the promises of the Earth

00:00:38.630 --> 00:00:41.619
Summit would be fulfilled
in their lives.

00:00:41.620 --> 00:00:45.309

less-dangerous world.

Narrator: These are the babies,
then kids, then

00:00:57.550 --> 00:01:00.900
teenagers, and now young adults
we\'ve been following.

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.509
It\'s a unique adventure,
spanning our fast-changing

00:01:07.510 --> 00:01:11.899
world over 20 years through the
lives of our children and

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:16.579
their families in far corners
of the Earth.

00:01:16.580 --> 00:01:21.089
Now in 2012, there\'s a new Earth
Summit in Rio, and we\'ve

00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:24.609
returned to each child to
discover what lessons their

00:01:24.610 --> 00:01:26.120
lives have to offer.

00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:38.559
Narrator: In this episode, we
travel to Brazil, where

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.969
Rosamaria was born within yards
of the summit; to Papua

00:01:42.970 --> 00:01:46.739
New Guinea, where Angela was
born just as a new gold mine

00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:52.039
was being opened; to Latvia,
newly free from Soviet rule,

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.209
where Martens was born; and to
the north of England, where

00:01:56.210 --> 00:02:00.329
Hayley was born just as her dad
was being made redundant.

00:02:00.330 --> 00:02:03.739
- But not everyone agrees the
cultural boycott should...

00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:06.659
- Villages emptied
at the center...

00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:10.559
- Only a few get rich, but
everyone lives on hope.

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.019
- economic reform.

00:02:12.020 --> 00:02:15.319
- Youth and inexperience are
no match for maturity and

00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:16.570
determination.

00:02:20.910 --> 00:02:24.249
Narrator: In 1992 in the English
coal mining town of

00:02:24.250 --> 00:02:26.939
St. Helens, Brian and
Lynn Turner are

00:02:26.940 --> 00:02:29.619
about to have a baby.

00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:33.549
- I\'d really like to be more
than a mother to my child.

00:02:33.550 --> 00:02:36.299
I\'d like to be a friend,
as well.

first Earth Summit baby we\'ll

00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:42.289
be following for 20 years.

00:02:42.290 --> 00:02:43.709
- I think I would like
a little girl.

- That\'s it, like that.

00:02:45.170 --> 00:02:46.140
- Yeah.

00:02:46.141 --> 00:02:49.239
- To be truthful, I don\'t mind.

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.609
I won\'t be disappointed either
way, as long as Lynn\'s healthy

00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:55.819
and the baby\'s healthy.

00:02:59.630 --> 00:03:03.339
Narrator: Brian is a miner,
and his job is threatened.

00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:07.829
When we first filmed here in
1992, he and his wife Lynn

00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:11.309
campaigned against the closure
of the local pit, the town\'s

00:03:11.310 --> 00:03:13.679
main source of employment.

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.349
Brian and Lynn feel the
threatened closure will

00:03:16.350 --> 00:03:18.999
destroy their community.

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.459
- You look at the state of
affairs and what\'s going on in

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:23.079
the world, and you think, is
it a right thing to do to

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.520
bring a child into all this?

00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:29.779
But at the end of the day, it\'s
the children who are the

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:31.559
future, aren\'t they?

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.379
- If you listen to everything
that was said about the state

00:03:35.380 --> 00:03:37.479
of the world, you\'d never...

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:40.349
You know, you\'d never do
anything or go anywhere.

00:03:40.350 --> 00:03:42.819
You\'d put yourself in
a plastic bubble.

00:03:42.820 --> 00:03:45.379
These children now, they\'re
our future.

00:03:45.380 --> 00:03:49.669
And if we educate them right,
maybe these children can

00:03:49.670 --> 00:03:51.990
change the world in
which we live in.

Narrator: Lynn has
a potentially

00:03:56.530 --> 00:03:59.409
life-threatening condition.

00:03:59.410 --> 00:04:02.509
Giving birth naturally would
threaten both her and the

00:04:02.510 --> 00:04:04.299
baby\'s survival.

00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:07.869
Her best hope is to
have a Cesarean.

and the miners lose the battle
to keep their pit open.

00:05:08.070 --> 00:05:11.819
At the dawn of globalization,

00:05:14.710 --> 00:05:18.919
Cheaper coal is available from

They always say, the child
or the mother.

00:45:45.850 --> 00:45:48.869
Narrator: In the early hours, a
health officer emerges with

00:45:48.870 --> 00:45:49.909
news of Rosamaria.

00:45:49.910 --> 00:45:53.459
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

00:45:53.460 --> 00:45:57.919
- She would have had twins,
but she lost them.

00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:00.070
But she appears to be well.

00:46:04.150 --> 00:46:07.619
Narrator: A few days later,
Rosamaria\'s out of hospital...

00:46:07.620 --> 00:46:11.129
A little frail, but she\'s
mending, and keen to take more

00:46:11.130 --> 00:46:13.030
control of her life.

00:46:15.870 --> 00:46:16.770
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]

00:46:16.771 --> 00:46:19.099
- I don\'t want this.

00:46:19.100 --> 00:46:22.159
I\'m a proud person,
and I don\'t want

00:46:22.160 --> 00:46:24.309
to depend on anyone.

00:46:24.310 --> 00:46:27.009
I want to go back to
work and give the

00:46:27.010 --> 00:46:28.799
best to my baby, Gustavo.

00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:30.140
That\'s all I want.

00:46:33.820 --> 00:46:36.319
Narrator: Just four of the
eleven lives we\'ve been

00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:39.249
following across the
world since birth...

00:46:39.250 --> 00:46:41.599
An epic endeavor.

00:46:41.600 --> 00:46:45.489
When we started, we had no idea
how events would unfold

00:46:45.490 --> 00:46:49.639
in their lives; some looking
very much up, and others

00:46:49.640 --> 00:46:50.890
marred by tragedy.

00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:57.759
In our next episode, we\'ll
travel to Tamil Nadu in India,

00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:01.209
where Panjy was born into a
society where children go to

00:47:01.210 --> 00:47:06.259
work; to the Arctic north of
Norway, where Amelia was born

00:47:06.260 --> 00:47:10.299
into a fishing family; and to
South Africa, where, because

00:47:10.300 --> 00:47:13.789
of the unique circumstances, we
follow two babies: Justin

00:47:13.790 --> 00:47:16.789
and Vuzumsi.

00:47:16.790 --> 00:47:24.790
