Horizon: The Child Mothers

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Sarah (British) is pregnant at 14. Maideline (Cuban) is pregnant at 15. Niki (American) is expecting her second child at 17 and Christianne (Ghanaian) is married with a baby in her mid-teens.

Horizon explores the real medical and social effects of teenage motherhood around the world.
