  • Meticulously Reported

    Although this program is extremely difficult to hear, I feel we have a duty to listen to the accounts of survivors who have the strength and wherewithal to share their experiences with the world. The reporters and producers have handled the subject matter with extreme care and I appreciate the responsibility they have shown in reporting this issue.
