The Light of Experience

on BBC Two England

In 1975, Reine Schiller went to Vietnam as a freelance journalist and independent woman. Her quest for adventure ended in a dramatic exodus from Saigon, a nightmarish boat journey and the unexpected acquisition of Hung, a 6-year-old orphan who adopted her as his 'maman'. Reine des. cribes how she taught him to become a civilised young Englishman and how he taught her to become a devoted mother. '... there is a bond between us that neither time nor distance can break. I did not bring my son into the world but I am thankful that the world gave him to me. For the gift of motherhood is something my life would have been much poorer without.'
