Drama documentary
The producers of this program conducted more than 50 hours of interviews to get the material for this program. It turned out that these young people were concerned about some pretty heavy problems: suicide, sexual assault, parents, sex. So how do you put these things in a program and still attract an audience. This program chose a combination of comedy, rock music and documentary.

Britain’s Channel 4 found a new audience for a breakfast time program by appealing to a young audience that had little interest in the breakfast shows of its competitors. A frenzied pace, a zillion segments, musically-enhanced news and two young and funny hosts who juts might get dunked in a pool of water, won the loyalty of millions viewers who begin their day expecting the unexpected.

In Switzerland, confronting the Red Cross in prime time takes more than a little courage. THE KILLING BLOOD reveals that this trusted organization knowingly distributed contaminated blood and refused to acknowledge its responsibility. The Swiss Red Cross was not successful in stopping the program’s broadcast, but this public television producer was forced to comply with a court order to censor some sections.

For 10 years, the independent producers of PROTECTING THE SUPERIOR made VHS recordings of politicians on television. The fact that Argentinean politicians will agree to almost any kind of television appearance provided the producers with an impressive range of images. When juxtaposed, these images reveal the contradictions and sometimes surreal aspects of political life.

The third world war has ended. A world in disarray and overpopulated agrees to assassination by lottery. It is the work of the ferret to kill. Each kill brings him a fee, each kill brings no feeling –it is just a job. Until he draws a woman’s name, a woman with whom he falls in love. The production values are a great improvement on most made for TV films. The art direction and camera work create a grim and believable future world. This tense and breathless film brings both complex ideas and popular entertainment to mainstream television.

This looks like a story about incest, it looks like fiction. In fact this is reality. After thorough research the programmakers decided that these facts were too intimate to involve the real participants, so they asked professional actors to recreate them. Is this an appropriate way to make television drama? |
