Journey Into Life: The Triumph of Creation: It
took filmmaker Derek Bromhall several years to make this documentary.
Drawing on his scientific training and experience as an embryologist
he crafts an incredible achievement filmed from the moment of conception
to the remarkable journey that ends with the magic of birth. We
see a tiny embryo's beating heart, as small as the head of a pin,
filmed inside the womb, and follow the stages of growth of a baby
during thirty-eight weeks of pregnancy.

ethnic, national and social backgrounds, the program examines the

issues, and the bonding and interaction that an infant experiences
