Birth, adulthood, death—the stages are the same for all humans, but Latinos celebrate them in their own way. This program follows a Mexican-American mother through the final stages of her pregnancy and the birth of her fifth child; examines the replacement for the traditional milestones that mark maturity among Latino youth; and observes how modern-day Latinos faced with a death in the family are adapting traditional mourning customs with new strategies. (28 minutes)
