Children in the Picture


As a camera crew films Richard Baker, a parent is apparently coaxed into a film role visiting two neighbouring children's homes with his wheelchair-user son. At Elmfield residential school, children with physical disabilities are busy in the classroom and at play. Next, Highfield which supports children from broken and unhappy homes, where father joins a kickabout and volunteers football coaching. We see the nursery school art work and lunch in one of the cottage homes.
