Saturday, 17. November 2007Soon, all the Britons will have the chance to watch a film on the Bulgarian orphanages. The ambitious director Kate Blewett has visited a social home for disabled children. Most of them suffer from incurable diseases and disabilities. Certainly, that film breaks hearts and those innocent kids do not deserve such a destiny.
What is the goal of that journalist with her film?
This is the question I asked for many times during the film. Undoubtedly, the Bulgarian state has to do a lot for them and modernize those homes. Undoubtedly, those kids should be integrated into society and not isolated in the province. Of course, more is needed.
Meanwhile, I think that there are certain standards to be covered not only in the social system. Journalists should also aim at some morale and ethics. While watching, I heard Kate Blewett ask herself ten times for thirty minutes why Bulgaria is in the EU, a country of contrasts, misery, etc. All her conclusions humiliated the country and the viewer thinks that its her primary goal, as if she does not care of those children.Unfortunately, those children are being born all over the world even today and they should be taken care of. Even a United Kingdom is no exception but it is still being a member in the EU.
So while reporting any serious social phenomenon like this, please try at least to keep your national and racial prejudice away! Maybe Bulgaria is no occasional choice?
