The BBC refused to air this appeal, apparently on the grounds that it would breach the broadcaster’s adherence to impartiality: I’m not sure how there’s anything “partial” in helping children in a war zone. But I post this not to be partial myself, or even to implore you to donate to this cause, but because … more…
Two just-under-feature-length documentaries about the face of modern addiction.
