- Not credible.
To entertain an interview with shamed, charged and FIRED ex-correctional officer Benko is laughable. He’s a “Lugger” in jail terms. The most disgraced of anyone one in the profession. Look up his story and get your answer as to the why for his narrative to this story.

I like it

This story is so tragic, and sadly not well known outside of Ontario. I really appreciate the humanizing portrayal of Soleiman and schizophrenia. Yusuf Zine has a fantastic broadcasting voice and interviewing skills. I was very moved by the conversations he had with Yusuf (Soleiman’s brother), because you could tell that he really cares about this family. As per usual with TVO, the production value and storytelling are top-notch.
