Thalidomide: Life at 40 Forty years ago, thousands of babies were born without arms and legs - a man-made tragedy which was eventually traced to their mothers taking a drug to cure their morning sickness. This observational documentary celebrates the achievements of three Thalidomide-affected people forty years on. Using a mixture of specially shot actuality, intimate interviews and archive we chart the successes of a group whose futures were dismissed at their birth. Tx: 2nd October 2002 at 2100 on BBC2 |
