Child Undernourishment

Child Undernourishment 1969 Directed by Alvaro Ramírez Desnutrición infantil

Through images showing the precarious conditions in which the poorest families in the country live, and the testimonies of the mothers themselves, a denunciation of child malnutrition in Chile is made. It also shows a hospital ward and babies in a state of extreme malnutrition, and images of a funeral, in which the coffin is evidently that of a child. The narration provides facts and figures that reinforce the magnitude of the problem.
