"Born to be Different" on again on Channel 4!!

[geekgrrl]

Do you remember this programme? It was on two years ago, following 6 babies born with various disabilities for the first 18 months or so. It's on again on Tuesday at 9pm, following those children's lives. Here's the website for more information.

This was on very shortly after dd was diagnosed and found it incredibly hard to watch but also comforting in some way that there was actually a TV documentary covering the very issues I was going through. Really interested to see how they are getting on. Thanks for alert!

oh I cantwatch it, it was bad enough last time

[Fio2]

sorry didnt mean for that to sound so blunt!

[heartinthecountry]

I did spend the entire time blubbing - but think I really needed to 'let it out' IYKWIM.

[geekgrrl]

hitc - I started crying tonight just watching the trailer - like someone turned on a tap. It's just so close to the core, isn't it?

[anniebear]

Yes, I too cried through it. Will probably cry through this one but I will probably watch it!!

Thanks

[Merlot]

Oh, I dont think I can bring myself to watch this am just too emotionally raw.

[chonky]

I really want to see it, but I'm not sure if I'm up to it yet, it's far too close to home.
It might be really cathartic to see it though .

I can't make my mind up.

I am really pleased that the documentaries have been made though, and think that the families are brave allowing the cameras to film them. It's so personal.

[Fio2]

I think the families are very brave too especially as there will be some comparrison even between the children who appear on the program. Not sure i could cope with it
