New scandal, connected with the abandoned children of Bulgaria is evoked by the documental film ‘Little phantoms of Bulgaria` of the French television ‘France 2`. The documentary story is about the conditions of life in the abandoned disabled children`s state home in Sliven village Medven.
The film has been shot with hidden camera in November last year. To the moment the film had been seen by more than 4 million people in France, Italy and Switzerland.
The authors accent over the fact Bulgaria is the poorest country in Europe and hold a pity record - the number of abandoned children, living in institutions. According to the film authors the children live in material comfort but they lack attention and human care.
The French documentary ‘Little phantoms of Bulgaria` is the second to reveal the shocking view of the children homes in Bulgaria. Few months ago the BBC film ‘The abandoned children of Bulgaria` shook whole Europe and evoked the quick closing of the children`s home in Mogilino village.
