Watched this on Iplayer yesterday, has to be one of the most gut-wrenching/frightening things I have ever seen. One of the most harrowing 'plot twists' in the history of mankind, and an example of what PH would term the 'Uber mental'. A significant part of me wishes I hadn't watched it. Anyone else see it? Heres a link for anyone that wants and has an hour and a half to spare;

I've got it recorded and intend to watch it soon as I saw an excellent write-up of it in a tv guide and thought it sounded really fascinating. I love watching tv/films that actually have an emotional impact so expect I'll enjoy it (if enjoy can be used in that context smile).

Having now watched this I would massively recommend it to everyone. It really is incredibly emotional and moving and probably the best documentary I've seen in a long long time.

A 15 year bump!

Had heard this documentary referenced several times, but never got round to watching it. Even knew the general background to it.

Didn't prepare me for the gut-wrenching emotion in this film.

It's fantastically done, but isn't something that you'll forget in a hurry!

It's also available free to view on youtube at the moment if struggling to find it anywhere else.
