No Child of
Mine tells the harrowing story of child abuse, paedophilia and prostitution.
Based on a true story, this BAFTA award-winning drama by Peter Kosminsky is
about a 13-year-old girl, Kerry (Brooke Kinsella), who is repeatedly sexually
abused by several adults and at one point, by her mother. After her father sets
her up as a prostitute, Kerry calls Childline and is put in a safe house, where
she tries to build a future for herself. Also starring Colin Salmon, No Child of
Mine won the BAFTA for Best Single Drama in 1997, as well as a string of
international awards.
Kosminsky was one of the first directors to tackle the issue of child sex abuse
and, with his characteristic unwavering commitment to the truth, the film took a
personal toll on many of those involved, including himself:
Recorded from Satellite TV, the quality of this set (compared to a retail dvd)
