Kate Adie Bücher

A correspondent for the BBC since 1969 describes her extraordinary experiences around the world including her work in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Tiananmen Square, and the Gulf War of 1991.

What's your name? Where were you born? What is your date of birth? Simple questions that we are asked throughout our life—but what if you didn’t know the answers? Kate Adie uncovers the extraordinary, moving, and inspiring stories of just such children—without mother or father, any knowledge of who they might be, or even a name to call their own. With a curiosity inspired by her own circumstances as an adopted child, Kate shows how the most remarkable adults have survived the experience of abandonment. From every perspective Kate Adie brings us a personal, moving and fascinating insight into the very toughest of childhood experiences—and shows what makes us who we really are.

Retrospective look at the events of the 20th century.
