Join WoW for the launch of Silent Victims: Part 2, the powerful sequel to Gary Millar’s acclaimed Silent Victims: Part 1. This compelling follow-up shifts the focus from Gary's mother, Margaret, to the wider Millar family, tracing six decades of resilience, love, and struggle in the aftermath of Thalidomide.
At the heart of the story is Gary's brother, Leslie Millar, a Thalidomide survivor whose life was shaped by a world that often misunderstood and excluded him. Through photographs, memories, and meticulous research, Gary Millar reveals the profound impact of Thalidomide, not only on Leslie, but on his entire family.
Raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful, Silent Victims: Part 2 gives a voice to the silent victims of medical negligence, while celebrating the strength, humour, and humanity of those who refused to be defined by tragedy.
Drawing on photographs, memories, and painstaking research, Gary Millar uncovers how the shadow of Thalidomide shaped not only Leslie’s life, but also the lives of his parents and siblings who lived in its aftermath.
