A London social worker named Ann Fairlie (Barbara Murray) is assigned to help a group of orphans -- including the harmonica-playing Georgie (Colin Petersen) -- that lives in a poverty-stricken institution located in a rough part of town. Ann quickly forms an attachment to the children, who come from very tragic backgrounds. She is also smitten with Bill Lowther (Max Bygraves), an electrician who works on the property and has a deep bond with the children.

The number killed remains uncertain, but the pictures bring home the human suffering and the political failure of what Bill Moyers, narrating, calls ''the worst massacre in Europe since World War II.''

A very skewed documentary. I would advise viewers to do their research on this war before making judgments.
