This is a fantastic film. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The importance of the care files of children raised in the child care system cannot be stressed enough. This film captures that importance. It also reveals the different layers of meaning that the files and our reading of them contain. The fact that the film is entirely narrated by two care leavers who have accessed their files makes it particularly powerful. The Danish Welfare Museum and everyone involved should be very proud of having produced this film. The issue of care leavers accessing their care files is global. Although this film is about Danish care leavers, it will be interest and value to care leavers and many others all over the world.
Very sensitive and informative program. We will pass it onto survivors of the Islington child abuse scandal in London and to social services managers who tell us we dont need to get survivor’s files and to the council that has lost or destroyed so many files so that evidence is now hidden & abusers go free. Thankyou for this inspiring film. @theIslingtonSN
