Bulgarian National Television (BNT) made a documentary called Dom (Home) in response to BBC's documentary on the social care home for disabled children in the village of Mogilino, avtora.com said.

Director of the Bulgarian documentary is Asparouh Nikolov. Bilyana Trayanova is the screenplay writer and Teodora Yaneva is the cameraman. The authors shot the film in different types of social care homes for disabled children throughout Bulgaria.

A lot of praiseworthy things have been done in Bulgaria during the last 3-4 years as far as special care for disabled children was concerned, the team that made Dom said. "England needed more than 30 years to carry out this reform. It is not right that the whole of Europe beantagonised against Bulgaria because of a well-manipulated and skilfully edited documentary on a home being prepared to close down, such as Mogilino," the documentary makers said.

BNT's documentary was meant to oppose initiatives both in Bulgaria and abroad that reinforce the impression of bad conditions in social institutions.

The authors said the message that the documentary carried was that a lot more could be done for a good life of these children by helping that they be accepted in the homes of adoption families and by showing parents how to keep these children at home and not abandon them in the institutions because of a lack of knowledge on how to raise them.

"There are a lot of people in Bulgaria who deserve respect for dedicating their lives to the care for these children," the authors of Dom said.
