Telegraph21 is streaming a short documentary, Les Enfants de L'Enfer (The Children of Hell), about Haitian orphans and kids infants who, in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake, have been left at makeshift orphanages by parents who cannot feed them. The situation is heartbreaking. As the camera pans the beautiful faces of toddlers with mournful eyes, voice over narration reports on the variious policies different governments have adopted towards facilitating the adoption of Haitian children. The US has quickly arranged for the speedy transportation of 21 children to new parents awaiting them on American soil. The Swiss, fearing exploitation and child trafficking, are more cautious in their appoach to relieving the situation. Now streaming free on Telegraph21, this is a worthwhile watch.
