My Life As A Child: Distant Dads

Each child was given a camera and recorded his or her life over several months.The result is a unique insight into family life in Britain today,which reveals an astonishing understanding of parental behaviour by children, and is also an authentic portrait of childhood itself. This week, three children travel abroad to visit their estranged fathers.Mary (9) travels to Portugal to see her dad and his new partner.Kris (9) goes to Turkey to spend time with his father in Istanbul,and Ellen (7) flies to Tokyo to see her British father,who works there, and meet his Japanese girlfriend.
