In this episode of CNN's "Amanpour," correspondent Christiane Amanpour talks with UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake and Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter Angelique Kidjo, a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, about childhood stunting, which "threatens 180 million children below the age of five all over the world." According to the show's summary, "[m]illions of children around the world are threatened with death, lowered I.Q. and deformities by [the] life-altering condition -- one that can be avoided simply by eating enough nutrients." "It's probably the least understood, most under-appreciated development issue, human issue, perhaps in the world," Lake says in the video (Burke/Krever, 10/16).
