This documentary is about how children from around the world celebrate their
coming of age. Shows the political, social and religious aspects which divide
them, and the similarities which unite them. Features six very different young
people who talk about the events which change their lives - from inside the
Arctic Circle to the mountains of Uganda, in equatorial Africa; on a cruise
liner in the Carribbean; deep in the Russian forests, outside Moscow; and in
Kelantan, Malaysia's only sharia state. In China, Chen, a typical teenager, is
being driven by her parents to study harder; and during the summer must undergo
military training. Andrew is a 16-year-old boy from Russia. He spends much of
his time hanging out in the streets with his friends; and is being initiated
into an extreme right-wing group that preaches hatred of "non whites". While
Monica, from the Dominican Republic, is celebrating her fifteenth birthday on a
Caribbean cruise. Apak, a 12-year-old boy from the Baffin Island in Canada, sets
out with his father for the first time, to test his hunting skills. Meanwhile,
he also faces an array of temptations from the modern world. Kamoti, a 16-year-
old boy from Uganda, travels to an ancient holy site to be circumcised. Eleven-
year-old Nur lives in Kelantan, Malaysia. Nur is a strict Muslim and works very
hard at her religious studies. But, she also has a mind of her own and wants to
be a banker when she grows up. These six children, with their different cultural
and religious backgrounds, provide an insight into adolescent experience on a
global scale.
