the man behind the suicide documentary

So during this week I've seen two amazing pieces of television. Which is good, because recently I've felt that Channel 4's documentaries can be a piece of shit. They seem to be creating even more hatred in this country. One was advertised as an inside look at muslim hate schools, 6 months/ a years worth of filming uncovered nearly nothing so the program just kept repeating the very small amount of footage it had.

Anyway, earlier in the week was Terry Pratchett looking into the world of assisted suicide, killing yourself in Switzerland etc. It showed a man killing himself, it was very emotional.

Last night Channel 4 aired a documentary on Sri Lanka's Killing Fields, it was worth watching, you can still catch it on 4od.

The link below is an interview with the man who did the filming for Terry.
