The fall of communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989 exposed the horrors of Romania’s state-run orphanages. David Foster and the Beyond Borders team return to uncover the legacy of one the darkest chapters in the nation’s history. We visit abandoned institutions that still echo with pain, speak with survivors of the system and meet those fighting to end institutional care for good. How far has the country really come? And can it ever shake the shame of this dark legacy?
Join the Beyond Borders team for this companion podcast to the full show, bringing you the story behind the story.
