 'Like a Virgin' is among the edgy fare that deals with issues impacting kids, from sexuality to cultural identity.
Beyond baby talk
Since the 1970s, the Berlinale has been taking the pulse of new generations of moviegoers, its Kinderfilmfest growing steadily into a prime bazaar for viewers and buyers of films for young audiences and programmers.
