Child of the State

November 14th, 2009 by Russell Davies

Leo, a correspondent, recommended this programme to us, and he's right, it's splendid. Thanks Leo. It's the story of Lemn Sissay's attempts to revisit some of the people and places of his childhood - when he lived in foster care and children's homes. It's touching and illuminating - a human perspective on something that we normally only hear about via statistics and hysterical headlines. MP3 here. Production company page here.
