- Very compelling story, and well told. Only constructive criticism I have was at times I felt the nats dropped out to almost nothing when the track came in.
- A tragic story told well and beautifully shot.
- Flawless. Very gripping and sad story. This one made me feel something the other stories did not. It was a demonstration in how a journalist should tell a story and be sensitive, not exploitive.
