Child of Our Time

Child of Our Time, a thought-provoking documentary by the BBC and the Open University, is hosted by Robert Winston. It chronicles the lives of 25 children born at the dawn of the 21st century, exploring their development from infancy to young adulthood. The series delves into the interplay of genetics and environment in shaping individuals, probing the age-old question of nature versus nurture. Over 20 years, the project captures changing family dynamics in modern Britain. After a hiatus, new episodes emerged in 2013, emphasizing personal interviews with the children and their families, shifting the focus from previous psychological experiments.
