About this work

Description

A section from an episode of CBS news programme '60 Minutes', presented by Ed Bradley, which looks at the lives of three British people affected by thalidomide. First is Tom Yendell, an artist with upper limb deficiencies, who has a great sense of humour and positivity about his condition. Kevin Donnellon was born with no arms or legs and his mother seems bitter, stating that she would have had an abortion if she'd known how Kevin was going to be born while Kevin himself has suffered from depression and longs to have a relationship. Kim Whitford talks about being a mother to three sons and about how her prosthetic legs led to her first meeting her husband, Clive.
