The film is a sequel to Cortile Cascino, a 1961 documentary shot by Andrew Young's father, Robert M.

Children of Fate picks up the story 30 years on, showing Capra now separated from her husband, and the fates of her children.
The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[1]
