I will forward your email to them. In the meantime I think somebody (me?) said it here in the comments, but the program can be seen on youtube in 10 minute clips. But I'm getting the impression you didn't really read anything here... Hello Hema

In the meantime I think somebody (me?) said it here in the comments, but the program can be seen on youtube in 10 minute clips. But I’m getting the impression you didn’t really read anything here…

And you might be able to take in the show in small doses. I think somebody put it into 10 minute clips on youtube. My stats show traffic coming from there. Thank you kindly Katherine.

Well, I hope you AND your friend are able to watch or record the program. I think it's a good lesson. Actually there are probably a FEW lessons to be learned. But as you said good treatment doesn't happen in certain places for unique individuals. So this program is a very good reminder that even though it's nearly 2010 there is still a lot of grief and misery in the world. We should probably also ask what are the CONDITIONS that lead people to do such desperate things. I think it's safe to say under the best of conditions people don't turn to desperate and violent solutions. But people who feel backed into a corner and <em>viola</em>; modern day pirates in East Africa, dismembering people for the limbs in Tanzania, or mass demonstrations in Iran when those people KNOW they're gonna get locked up/beat/raped in an Iranian prison. So all this stuff is sad; but it doesn't happen without a reason. Not to mention letting things go unchecked; you let people do crazy shit and they'll KEEP doing crazy shit. So putting a spotlight on a problem is a very good start to stopping it. Hi Anne
