I'm sure Canada seemed a miracle escape from the workhouse, although the reality was equally as horrible. In this program, I was taken with how emotional these stories were even after so many years. Brian Cox's anger was genuine and visceral. The program would have been improved by not jumping around so much. I would have preferred to have them stick with one person's story and then go on to the next. That's just a quibble. I'm only sorry that I will be back in Canada before the next episode.Cannukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007000434271046821noreply@blogger.com
