BBC News

This video from BBC News tells the stories of mixed-race children in Africa who were separated from their mothers, taken from their country of origin, and brought to live with "host families" in Belgium during the Belgian colonial period. It tells the story of one man in particular, Luc Van Damme, whose mother was Rwandan and whose father was Belgian. He was removed from his mother's care and taken to Belgium to live with a host family in 1960.
