sat patiently on her nest of eggs,
한마리가 둥지에서 천천히
something move beneath her.
밑에서 뭔가 움직이는 걸 느꼈죠.
as her eggs hatched one by one.
새끼들이 나오는 걸 지켜봤어요.
but when I was little,
이야기 시간이 너무 좋았고,
one of my favorite parts of the day.
when they were small, too.
책도 즐겨 읽어 줬죠.
can be totally absorbed together
미운 오리가 백조가 되는
that turn out to be swans.
to read to them.
and lives with her parents.
her mum's crying.
dragging her father away.
what's happened to her dad.
엄마는 화만 내고 맙니다.
in case he's come back.
서둘러 집으로 오지만,
she cries herself to sleep.
that Sophie's dad is in prison.
아무개 엄마가 알아 버렸거든요.
so she doesn't have to go to school.
학교에 가지 않습니다.
why she's so far behind
학업에 뒤쳐지는지
a long, long time to Sophie,
but she reads a little out to Sophie.
소피에게 조금 읽어줍니다.
and that he's missing them.
가족들이 보고 싶다는 내용입니다.
and see her dad, wherever he is.
소피는 말하지만,
and they can't afford the journey.
갈 형편이 아니라고 말합니다.
wherever he is.
what to say to him.
떠오르지 않습니다.
that's not a very nice one.
기분 좋은 이야기가 아니네요.
of a parent in prison.
놀림과 따돌림을 받습니다.
of children each year
by their parents divorcing.
of prisoners very deeply.
큰 상처를 갖게 되는데,
to suffer from mental health issues.
3배 더 높습니다.
of their parents' crimes.
아이들까지 힘들게 되는 거죠.
of their parents' crimes.
아이들이 방치되는 거죠.
I was a serving prisoner,
a practicing solicitor for 30 years.
I'm pleased to say, continues.
행복한 결혼생활에
I did my best to be around for them
가능한 곁에 있어주려고
in what they did.
was "Burglar Bill."
"도둑 빌"을 가장 좋아했어요.
it soon became apparent
to that of most of the prisoners.
아주 다르다는 걸 알았죠.
had had a decent education.
with humiliation and failure.
수치스럽게 여겼습니다.
that prison is dehumanizing.
아주 비인간적인 곳입니다.
they shut down, they close in ...
with your family from prison
가족들과 꾸준히 연락하는 건
their parent in prison,
the same pat-down searches as the adults.
the same detector frames,
have been the unwitting carriers
마약이나 휴대전화를
to see their parent,
어색해 쭈뼛거리고,
who may not be getting along.
더더욱 어려운 일입니다.
with their children and families.
절반이 넘습니다.
to stay in contact with their families?
잘 유지할 수 있을까요?
at Channings Wood Prison,
called Storybook Dads.
자선 단체에서 일했는데,
in a prison, realized just how much
자녀들과 계속 연락하길 원하는
in contact with their children.
만든 단체입니다.
to read and record stories
Few ideas like this are new.
of the stories work in prison?
녹음할 수 있는지
reading and recording a story
any signs of weakness or vulnerability.
sometimes all just a bit too much.
때론 주체할 수 없기도 합니다.
missing out on their children's lives.
후회하며 웁니다.
that they've let their families down.
수치스러워 웁니다.
how to go about reading to their children.
들려줄지 몰라 웁니다.
we offer a private space, one-to-one,
their vulnerability as a strength
감정을 담아 편하게
who came to record.
with a reputation for being tough.
거구의 남성이었죠.
녹음실로 들어 갔는데,
room closed behind him,
a screwed-up piece of paper
for his two little ones.
that he could do from behind bars
that he missed and loved them.
방법이 없지만,
production unit
제작팀에 전달됩니다.
which the prison editors gain
and sent out to the families
가족들에게 배송돼,
whenever they feel the need.
볼 수 있게 됩니다.
and watch them a lot --
to show their friends.
친구들에게 보여주기도 합니다.
that they're loved and missed.
for their child, as a parent.
깨닫게 됩니다.
before Christmas, a parcel arrived,
On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!
도너, 블리즌, 모두 힘내자!
멀리 멀리 날아 갔어요.
northern lights they passed --
lights, wouldn't you?
a bit like that snowman's belly.
반짝 거릴 것 같아요.
all the children in the world
they were back in Frogsbottom Field.
개굴방댕이 마을로 돌아왔어요.
in Frogsbottom Field!
살고 싶어요!
in Frogsbottom Tree?
전 이 나무에 살아요.
listened to that three times,
세 번이나 봤는데,
so much in a long time.
they can see that he loves them,
애정을 확인할 수 있었고,
할 얘기가 넘쳐 났습니다.
Sophie's got plenty to talk about:
Storybook Dads has grown and grown.
이 단체는 지속적으로 성장했고,
and Storybook Mums
in the United Kingdom.
운영되고 있어요.
of the prisoners who take part
their relationship with their child.
좋아졌다고 말합니다.
have been sent out
of families like them,
처지가 비슷한 다른 가족들에게
생명줄과 같았습니다.
that it's the first time
a relationship with their child.
have been so inspired
to improve their own reading skills.
더 힘을 낼 수 있었죠.
of "The Ugly Duckling."
a recording made by a prisoner,
the power of what we do.
가지고 있는지 잘 보여줍니다.
who couldn't read.
아일랜드 사람인데,
to his daughter for her birthday.
책을 읽어 주고 싶어 했죠.
and some clever editing,
by repeating it, phrase at a time.
따라 읽고 있습니다.
to the great marsh.
나올 때까지 달렸어요.
to the great marsh.
나올 때까지 달렸어요.
an excerpt of the recording
and sound effects and music added in.
where the wild ducks lived,
나올 때까지 달렸고,
수풀 속에 숨어 있었어요.
come to look at him.
and they laughed at him.
하며 비웃었어요.
from the great marsh.
그 슾지를 떠났어요.
an ugly duckling at all.
미운 오리가 절대 아니었어요.
into a beautiful white swan.
백조로 자라났어요.
and thought how beautiful he was.
참 아름답다고 생각했죠.
have enjoyed this story
열심히 읽었는데,
reading this story to you.
and hold you in my arms.
with all my heart.
to that recording in his cell
reaction from prisoners,
to do something for their child
in the most fundamental way,
