Oshin

When we watched Oshin I was working, and living, in Saudi Arabia. We had small children, a baby, a 3 year old and a 10 year old. Oshin was a programme that had all of us riveted to the TV following the progress of this little girl to womanhood and her success in business from her very poor beginnings. It had nothing shocking so very suitable for small children. It was a great topic of conversation in the expat community and even with Saudi's that I worked with. The acting was superb and the fact that it was in Japanese did not detract from the pleasure we had in watching it. The subtitles were very good and we would read them out to the children.
