CGiii Comment

Part of the series: Lifestories: Families in Crisis: Season 1, Episode 11


This is irresponsible - a mere 30 minutes for a complex story.

Leave this kind of film-making to the professionals - it comes over as an infomercial.

A serious matter in the hands of pimply TV execs - a criminal flippancy that only adds insult to the grievous injury.
