The Small Freedoms
India is facing its worst drought this century. In the first of three programmes about the world's continuing silent emergency, Marian Foster reports from Anantapur where more than 100,000 people have survived a five-year drought with the help of British families, a remarkable Spaniard they call 'the man of the wells', and Action Aid.
Marian finds out what has happened to the poorest of all, the children of the bonded labourers she first filmed in 1979. Sound HUGH KITSON
