During the Second World War 200,000 Polish children were stolen by the Nazis and taken back to Germany. They only stole the ones who looked Aryan - to replenish the “master race”. This film tells the extraordinary story of two cousins stolen on the same day - Alojzy Twardecki who was 4 and Leon, 10. Alojzy was adopted by a good Nazi family and knew nothing of his Polish past. Until, eight years later, a letter arrived from Poland.

The second of four films exploring the issue of population and migration as part of the One World 94 season.

In the last century, Scottish crofters were evicted from their land to make way for sheep, and then were accused of being unable to feed their families. The same is happening in India today, claims Deepa Dhanraj, in a film which blends drama and documentary to challenge the links between population, development and environmental destruction.
