Channel 4 screened a film called 'The Unloved' last night. Directed by Samantha Morton, it's a gritty portrayal of a little girl who is put in care. Her parents are unstable, and she seems to slip through the care system with no-one seeming to care for her properly.
It's quite haunting; the little girl comes across some darki characters including a drug abusing shoplifter and an abusive care worker. The film highlights the inadequacies of the care system; her social worker doesn't get petrol allowance so doesn't go to see her, no-one will give her a straight answer, she's thrust into a hostile environment and left to get on with it.
