the programme on BBC4 about the Ukraine's 'forgotten children'?

I have recorded it Rose and will watch it later or in the morning.

Have you watched it?

I have Gwyn, I didn't see the very beginning of it, just happened to click on whilst channel hopping and couldn't turn it off.

I hadn't realised until the credits that it is by the same film company and director as The Dying Rooms which i didn't see but was discussed on here...and several that I have seen

I have recorded it to watch later on. I find all the documentaries about different countries and cultures etc very interesting, lots on Channel 4 that are thought provoking.

btw what's the name of the rose on your avatar, it's lovely.

Hi Liz, not sure what the rose is, I chose it as an avatar because it reminded me of one we used to have :-D

It looks like a rose called Peace.

You may be right Claddagh, now you say it I remember we did have 'Peace' :-)

Google David Austin Roses,you no doubt find it on there.

Thanks Eileen, it's lovely anyway Rose.

Yes, Liz, it is a beautiful rose, strong too. I used to have some more than 25 years ago.x
RR,they look lovely both in bud and when they are in full bloom.

It's probably similar to a program which I saw over here in Australia about the forgotten children of one of those Russian or Serbian or Croatian nations,it was heart-breaking.All the children in the orphanage had been born to mothers who had AIDS; so they all had AIDS also.They seemed to be well-cared for,but the staff couldn't give them the attention that they needed.I saw it quite a while ago;it was very sad.

:-( :-( :-(

Yes I watched it poor souls , it made me weep .
We had that rose given to us last year as a diamond wedding present
It has grown so much & the flowers are beautiful..

I am at the stage of not being able to watch such terrible programs, they make me soooo angry, I feel sooo helplesss.too, as do countless other Wish I was a Bill Gates(he's a good man, so maybe shouldn't use his name as example) to be able to give these little ones a better life, bless them all, they don't deserve to be treated like this, no-one does.

Thats very true , those poor souls didnt have a say ..
