Directed by Looney Tunes animation legend Chuck Jones, this 1949 Oscar-winning documentary short, commissioned by the Harry Truman administration, is dishearteningly timely. Unfolding the life story of a baby, it makes the case of public healthcare, praising its contribution to the lowering of infant mortality rates. Seven decades later, this historic documentary attains renewed and grim relevance.
