Australian Film Season: Cathy's Child

on BBC Two England

Starring Michele Fawdon and Alan Cassell
When Cathy's baby is ‘kidnapped’ by her husband and taken to Greece, the mother turns in despair to the authorities who are unable to help. Eventually two newspaper reporters take up the woman's plight - at first in search of a good story and subsequently out of genuine concern. This moving portrait of a woman, in an alien society, without money or friends, conveys a remarkable sense of truth and authenticity.
