Chicago -- It's one woman's battle to live a more normal life. She's trying to beat an obsessive-compulsive disorder called hoarding. It affects millions and many experts say it's almost impossible to cure. In this special report, Mark Saxenmeyer shows us how one local woman is trying desperately to prove them wrong.

Some call them lazy, slovenly, unwilling to keep a clean house. But if someone is suffering from a condition called "hoarding", they're more than just unorganized or untidy. Experts believe more than a million Americans have this disorder, an anxiety that essentially prevents them from ever throwing anything away.

World of Compulsive Hoarders
Channel 4 Wednesday 2 May, 11.05pm
One in 200 people in the UK is a hoarder: someone who can't stop collecting things but can't bear to throw anything away. Compulsive hoarding is a recognised manifestation of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Many compulsive hoarders live claustrophobic, lonely existences, often in a vicious circle of deprived circumstances with their accumulated piles of rubbish preventing them from even eating, sleeping and keeping themselves clean.
World of Compulsive Hoarders takes a closer look at the debilitating condition, which is on the rise. This one-off film follows four compulsive hoarders as each confronts their compulsion at a crucial moment in their life: William, who was the first man in Britain to receive an ASBO for hoarding; Roy, a retired accountant from Staffordshire, is forced to confront his problem when his family stages an intervention; Lloyd becomes a national celebrity in the States when his stash of 5,000 bikes is uncovered; and finally, in New York, after 17 years of hoarding and 13 different therapists, Maureen realises that things finally must change.

Abuelo de Mis Hijos (Grandfather of my Children) Online Video
Synopsis
An old man recovering from diogenes syndrome, a hoarding compulsion,tells his daughter-in-law about life before she arrived, bringing order and grandchildren.
Inspiration
The grandfather in the film is grandfather to my own grandchildren. I have known him for about six years, and have heard his story both from him and from my daughter and her husband, his son. I wanted the film to show something of his unusual story and lifestyle, as well as his special relationship with his grandsons. I hope it also conveys the importance of respecting and listening to older people, and the richness of extended family.
Factual (2006) Category/4min 58sec/DV/Colour/Scotland, UK (2005). Dir: Helen Graham.
