Painted Babies: Update

Overview

This documentary following the children's beauty-pageant circuit in the American South has been updated since first airing in 1996. Five-year-olds Asia and Brooke, rivals in the race to be crowned Supreme Queen at Atlanta's Southern Charm pageant, are just part of a lucrative business where children aged from four months to 17 years can win cash, cars, and holidays. The film updates the stories of Brooke and Asia to see how they have coped with this existence. (season end)
