Joe had posted in the 'Events' forum about this a few weeks ago. I saw the first part of the program (I fell asleep - Drat!). I agree with what everyone here has said. The program looked at the 'reality' of cancer instead of trying to whitewash everything. I just checked www.pbs.org and you can see when it will be shown again in your area.
