The Boy who Gave Birth to his Twin/Wild Child - The True Story of Feral Children/Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer

Three two-sided fliers advertising programmes on Channel 4. "The boy who gave birth to his twin" and "Wild child - the true story of feral children" were broadcast as part of the Bodyshock series. The first film concerns a 7-year-old boy in Kazakhstan who had his own twin growing inside his abdomen. There is a colour picture of a boy on one side and the caption "He Ain't Heavy" alluding to the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." The second film, which relates the story of a young Ukrainian girl brought up by dogs from the age of three until eight, has an illustration of a child and the caption "It's a Dog's Life." The third programme is a documentary by Nick Broomfield about the life and death of Aileen Wuornos, convicted in 1992 of serial murder and executed. The accompanying caption is :"She killed the last man who got this close." Wuornos was the subject of the film "Monster."
