About Nurseries, raids on babies
An investigation into the inner workings of an economic model where profitability takes precedence over the well-being of children and their families. Former employees provide behind-the-scenes accounts of these daycare centers, which now operate on a profit-driven basis. In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, this sector is being privatized, paradoxically thanks to massive public subsidies. But where do these public funds end up?
