We will all criticise Television on some occasion or
another for being fundamentally poor quality television, and quite often for good
reason. Every now and again something fantastic comes on the television and you
realize that only the power and money of Television made that possible. I
understand that it’s all linked to acquiring good ratings, good advertising
revenue, big budgets, and so on, nonetheless, when it does so much good it does not
tend to matter quite so much. None of this is free. The particular programme I am
referring to is the recent ABC Show ‘Find My Family’.
The originators thought of the concept of
taking us through every single stage of reuniting broken families, families that
have lost touch, sometimes through no fault of their own. On occasion the years
roll quietly by and we just lose contact. On occasion we are
simply

too young to stop getting
split apart from other family members. Kept at a distance for many years with no
communication, never discovering if they are searching for us or even thinking of
us. Finally, years later, hopefully older and wiser, we determine to do some thing
about it. Free of the earlier constraints we set forth.
Seeing all these events in the
programme happen before our eyes can be equally fascinating and
inspiring.
Alarming Amazing
Riveting
We are taken through the
psychological whirlwind that people in these situations can go through. We begin
with the heartbreaking hope to find someone and become reunited. We are told the
frequently sad situations in which they are separated in the first place. We follow
the hard work of the researchers as they locate people within the family. Their
pains
|
taking efforts of research are observed one step at a time as they unearth the
one they want. Eventually we share the heart warming reunion. Wonderful real life
events unfold before our eyes. Events that no soap could possibly match. Alarming,
amazing, riveting and the heart wrenching stories that ultimately genuinely inspire
us.
As humble as these events may make us they can also
encourage our efforts to renew contacts that we may well have lost over the years.
People that we possess fond memories of from several
years past but have let slip from our lives. Old friends, old loves, even old
special family members could all be reunited following some effort on our part.
