Mogilino is a village in Ruse Province, northern Bulgaria. It became well known internationally after several reports about the institution for children with physical and mental disabilities. In 2007, the BBC aired the film "", created by documentarian Kate Blewett. The film critiqued the lack of activities, aid, and involvement offered to the disabled children.
Members of the British public started a petition to Prime Minister Tony Blair requesting intervention and pressure on EU institutions as well as for the Bulgarian government to solve the problem. Many British, Bulgarian and international charities intensified their work to help abandoned children in the country.
