Television is not static, never still. It’s always moving, searching for new ways to connect with the public, new ways to get their attention, new ways of doing television and provide treatments and different approaches.
But not only in the commercial field (where they are more obsessed with) but also in hunting the best format to get a good audience. Sometimes matters if this subject could be ethically correct. Most of the public channels have contributed greatly to the evolution of a television will educate and show worthy values.
One of the most prestigious public television and most have done for this evolution, the BBC, has done something that no every media would do: the gathered together in a conference room two people: one was a widow of a victim of terrorism, and at his side, the murderer who killed her husband. People might think that the channel was using terrorism as a central theme of a new talk show, but BBC did not.
Actually, that was a proposed charged by a Nobel Peace Prize, as the Archbishop Desmond Tutu, trying in a direct and responsible way, calling for dialogue rather than scandal, the rehabilitation of terrorists.
This was one of the chapters in a series of three documentaries titled like “Facing the truth”. The objective was to reach reconciliation with the protagonists of the conflict in Northern Ireland, through regret and forgiveness, acts extremely difficult to assume on these cases. One purpose daring and risky.
A format of this type, in the wrong hands, could become the latest formula to find the sickness television. But the approach that gave the British public channel was solemn, I would say that even beautiful. Something very difficult to achieve. Not only the fact of to gather these characters together, but also the result, which was ethically worthy. We can not forget how particularly difficult is to find this kind of programmes on television today.
