Videos about cultures around the world for a kid
I have a 4 year old and I'm looking for some video suggestions (ideally a series) that showcases cultures around the world. I have lots of options handy for seeing all sorts of animals from any corner of the globe that are all very kid-friendly if not kid-oriented, but not a lot comes to mind when I want to introduce her to human life around the world. Particularly in urban places. Her exposure to these other cultures is usually just as porters helping some white guys walk around a jungle looking for animals. I can also find lots of travel series, which go to different places, but they are all oriented to adults-- either talking about how to travel to these places as a tourist, or have more adult jokes or are too focused on the presenter.
Are there any well made series about life in other places? I'd like her to see life in Tokyo, Cairo, Mexico City, favelas of Brazil, Amsterdam, Mumbai, etc.
Not exactly what you're asking for, but have you ever watched The Food Ranger? He travels all over the world, and while his content is mostly food oriented he still covers the local culture as well (e.g. in one of his recent videos in Kenya where he visited the Masai he included a section focused on their culture too). And while his channel is not specifically labeled as child-friendly, AFAIK, I have never once in all my years of watching him ever heard him use foul language, make crude/inappropriate jokes, or felt his content was totally inappropriate for children. The one potential exception to that, depending on how you feel about showing your kids that aspect of life, is the rare occasions when the people he's with have to butcher animals for food, but even then he typically blurs out the gory bits.
p.s. He seems like a super super nice and respectful guy too which is great to see, especially knowing that he's a fellow Canadian. :)
