A film.
The unmarried mother, the old-age pensioner, the juvenile delinquent, and the family distressed by the threat of illness and poverty-these are the people who need help and are given it by 'a friend at the door'. British Columbia is a large and rugged Province in Canada but its social workers bring comfort and practical aid to human beings in need wherever they may live.
