They say that blood is thicker than water, but what happens when family members push you to the edge, disappear without warning or make annoying decisions that you simply can’t ignore?

Exploring how younger children idolise their elder siblings, the hazards of running a business with family and the emptiness felt when a loved one is lost, this programme examines the unbreakable bonds between brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers.

Programmer’s note: Art direction at its very best, some brilliant script work and a heart-wrenching documentary.
