Review of "Anonymous Baby"
Teen pregnancy and abortion are often discussed topics, but this piece brings a different viewpoint into the conversation: that of a teen who has an unexpected pregnancy, decides to keep the baby, but then miscarries. This piece is a heavy and poignant look at a frightening and sad experience for anyone to go through, let alone someone so young. The use of music on this piece is quite excellent, and enhances the telling of this young woman's story. While it may have been a nice addition to hear a bit more insight into some aspects of the story -- for example, how did she and her boyfriend come to the decision to keep the baby? Did her parents find out about it, and if so, how did they react? Overall though, I give this piece a high rating as the technical production is pretty strong, and it takes a lot of bravery to tell a story like this.
