    It's a beautiful story of two amazing women Petra at 16 being a translator and helping reunite children with mothers and Clare taking everyone in. They are both saints.

      @@bananacheese2 actually she did that because without Petra can you translate for them and tell them what was going on they would never have known that these children have been separated from their parents and what they had experienced they were in need and a child of 16 a young woman of 16 acted like a mature woman twice her age to be able to do what she did indeed they are both saints. One for taking the men without a thought, or hesitation and the other for volunteering to translate something so painful and difficult it must have been hard... This will say that I edited I didn't I don't have the ability to type because my hands do not work properly I use voice to text and it writes things as it wishes sometimes it writes it clearly and correctly and sometimes it leaves words out or punctuation and he doesn't even punctuated correctly in short I hope this makes sense.

    One thing to notice in this story is how Clare was so worried about the trauma on Petra, being a 16 year old with this situation thrust upon her, and relaying what these children witnessed. Clare felt guilty about pulling this additional child into the storm.
    I think a large amount of the catharsis in this story is Clare seeing Petra grown up and happy. It must have been such a relief!

    It’s not just how fantastically big hearted Clare was to do this, it’s how little she thinks she deserves praise as, in her eyes, it was just the right thing to do. I watched the full programme when it was on BBC & I’m not in the least bit ashamed to admit how much it made me cry.

      @@JaneAustenAteMyCat I'm sorry if your country is having trouble with that. I live in the US where legal immigrants commit fewer violent and nonviolent crimes per capita than native born citizens, and illegal immigrants commit even fewer crimes per capita than even legal immigrants. Wherever you may live, I urge you to look for statistics on refugees' criminal activities objectively, looking for trends rather than singular events and acknowledging all of the innocent refugees who have done right by the country that has accepted them. Often, it's people fleeing violence and unrest that damn such atrocities the most.

    I think this is the kind of passion and fervor we need to demonstrate during a refugee crisis. We shouldn’t just assume children are orphans. We should do all that we can to reunite. It reminds me of the recent-ish crisis in Haiti and how children there were being illegally transported to other countries for adoption without this same due diligence.
