The Things I Cannot Change

Does anyone have updates, social media links on the family?

I watched this documentary in grade 9 (1979) and it was very powerful. It was my first view of a poor family up close and personal. The original living conditions on St. James West was for lack of better word ..frightening. How could a family live in those conditions? It (the documentary) in our civics class, in case anyone was wondering. The doc. as I said stayed with me. I had made a trip to Montreal for work and took time to go to the original address, it was a garden, all the buildings were gone. Just really wanted to get a sense of the neighbourhood. As you can see on street view it's been 40 years and much change has happened. Anyway, it's weird it was only a few months ago I Google searched the documentary to find the follow up doc. was available on the NFB website. That was interesting to watch, it looks like life got somewhat better for the Bailey's. However, watching the follow up, you discover that many things had went on with several of the children not too mention the parents.

That is my 2 cents. As mentioned if you know any follow up add a review and update me. Thanks!
