The new ‘sensitive documentary film’ is being made in the region by Shine TV, the production company behind MasterChef and Hunted.

“We are endlessly fascinated by the question of who we are, where we belong and who belongs to us.

“Is the child you love and care for really yours? And is the man you call dad actually related to you? Or the aunt and cousins you call family part of who you are?

“We aim to uncover some wonderful and heart-warming stories in this sensitive documentary film.”

Anyone looking to take part will need to be available for two days of filming, one during the week of October 22.
