1315.0. "FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROM MOVIE" by MCIS5::PULSIFER () Thu Feb 13 1992 13:49

    
    There was a movie on a week or more ago on a Monday night - the name of
    the movie was "Fetal Alcohol Syndrom" - I believe that's the name - but
    it was a movie with Jimmy Smits in it about him adopting a child that
    had Fetal Alcohol Syndrom.
    
    I wanted to know if anyone taped this movie and if so and if anyone
    still has it on tape - could I borrow/buy the tape?  Or exchange it for
    a blank tape?  I am very interested in seeing this movie.  Please let
    me know.
    
    Thanks,
    Laura

    The movie was called "The Broken Cord."
    
    Sorry, I can't help with a tape.

    The movie is from a book by the same name, "The Broken Cord."
    It is by a man from New Hamsphire (Michael somebody.)
    
    If you don't find the movie, you can at least read the book.

    I just read last week (Union Leader) that the kid in the story
    (the boy that the story was about)
    was killed very recently, I believe he was hit by a car.  He was 23.
    
    I'm sorry I didn't get to see the movie.  What about a library?

    National Geographic, February 1992, had a short but powerful piece on
    Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

    The book "The Broken Cord" is by Michael Dorris. I highly 
    recommend it.
