DocArchive (1973): Unhappy Christmas

A look into the darker side of Christmas - a season that can bring as much sadness as it does joy.  Bereavement, homelessness, poverty, loneliness - this are all problems that can be magnified during the festive season. This documentary talks to single parents, Belfast families after internment and people in hospitals. Frank Crummy, a social worker from the ISPCC, talks about how children cope when their father deserts the family. (First Broadcast 1973)
