25 March 2006
Much of Eastern Europe has been devastated by the rapid transition from Communism to Capitalism. In Ukraine, an estimated 1,000,000 children are homeless. They form a troubling underworld, governed by their own rules and haunted by crime, prostitution, drug abuse and murder. Our documentary this week is an intimate and uncompromising insight into their lives. We follow Ruslan, Tanya, Vitalik and their friends as they battle against the odds and try to salvage a better future. Notable for its remarkable levels of access, 'Flowers Don't Grow Here' depicts the children paying the ultimate price for political reforms.

thats sad dude

This reminds me Cabrini Green living and slums of south side in Chicago. I agree with a commentary bellow - this kind of tragedy is in most of the countries... especially in the US. Go south... go LA, go Chicago... I lived near those places and traveled through very often... It's as bad or worse as in this video

you're right - but Eastern Europe has become the #1 place for the sale of "white" flesh - child pornography, sexual slavery and human trafficking has become a huge crisis.
