Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

In this modern world there is little excuse for the squalor in which some of the elderly and neglected live. A group of young volunteers produced this film which takes away the glitter of the cities and exposes the utter wretchedness of Britain’s elderly and hopefully raise awareness of the situation.
