I think the one with Shelby is called something like Child of our Time? They were all born in 2000 or something? I remember watching it tooA lion in the house was so so sadI watched it on Netflix a few months ago
I remember watching a documentary about a Dad who had (I’m not sure I’m remembering this right) motor neurone disease
It was his sons filming his decline and it was so so sad
also a documentary filmed over many many years with about 4-5 disabled children, in the most recent one a girl called Shelby had died. There was also William. I’m so bad with names of the programmes though!
Simon’s Choice. Very dignified but tragic documentary.I can’t remember what it was called but it was about a gentleman who was terminally ill and decided to go to Dignitas to end his life. It documented from his decision, right through to his death on camera. Very controversial but so interesting. It came across very peaceful and dignified x
No it was called born to be different, I’ve followed it over the years too! I’ve also followed child of our time, since it started in 2000 and I was 10. Would love a recap!I think the one with Shelby is called something like Child of our Time? They were all born in 2000 or something? I remember watching it too
Yes! That’s the one thank youSimon’s Choice. Very dignified but tragic documentary.
There was a final recap episode of it all last year. It might be somewhere online for you to watch, possibly iplayer or youtube?No it was called born to be different, I’ve followed it over the years too! I’ve also followed child of our time, since it started in 2000 and I was 10. Would love a recap!
Aw I didn't know she had died. How sadalso a documentary filmed over many many years with about 4-5 disabled children, in the most recent one a girl called Shelby had died. There was also William. I’m so bad with names of the programmes though!
Ah! You're right. I've obviously merged both programmes together in my headNo it was called born to be different, I’ve followed it over the years too! I’ve also followed child of our time, since it started in 2000 and I was 10. Would love a recap!
Ah that’s it! Born to be Different! Yes! I’ve watched this every few years my whole life. The last series was when they turned 18 (I believe?) and Shelby had died. It’s so interesting to see the difference routes the children have taken in life. I hope they carry on and make another series. It would be lovely to see if they settle down. There was the girl with the bowel/bladder problems and she wanted to have a family and study nursing. I’d love to know if she did.I think the one with Shelby is called something like Child of our Time? They were all born in 2000 or something? I remember watching it too
She is on Insta. She's married, has a baby, and still does pageants and cheerleading. She also works or has worked as a flight attendant. No mention of her mum thoughI always think of one wife swap episode where the mum was a total looney in my eyes- she let her daughter drink WKD from the age of about 11 and put her into cheerleading classes. She was later on a bbc3 (I think) documentary where she was trying to put the same daughter through beauty pageants etc..
What I really think/want to know is how the daughter turned out!! And how her relationship is now with her mother
Ignore me- a simple Google just showed me she is called Katrina not Caroline and she is happy and healthyAnyone remember Airline? There was a check in girl on there who got cancer, think her name was Caroline. She was stunning, wonder how she is now.
I watched it the other day ..What is the name of the reborn documentary and channel please?
I LOVED both Born To Be Different and Child Of Our Time, and had a bit of an existential crisis when I watched the final updates of both, seeing them as young adults. Just a terrifying reminder of how fast time passes and how old I now amAh that’s it! Born to be Different! Yes! I’ve watched this every few years my whole life.
