Everyman: The Year that Died

on BBC One London

This is the International Year of the Family and yet the media is full of stories about family breakdown and the social problems it causes. In this documentary, the Chief Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks examines whether the shift away from a traditional family unit is a threat to society. If the family is broken, he asks, can we mend it?
Among those he talks to are a single parent, who believes her children cannot miss the fathers they have never known, and a young offender who says he would not wish his fatherless background on any child. He also talks to the experts, who agree there is a problem but have different solutions - some are sympathetic, others take a tough line.
