Stockwell: Countdown to Killing
Thursday March 30 at 10 PM ET/PT on CBC Newsworld

quote:
There were four attempted bombings of the London, UK transit system on July 21. The next morning a Brazilian electrician named Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead in London's Stockwell Tube station by members of that city's elite police firearms team. It was a hugely controversial alleged "shoot-to-kill" policy that led to this tragic killing of an innocent man. Countdown to Killing is the definitive account how the operation evolved, how the operation went so dramatically wrong, and endeavours to explain what really happened that day.

Note: the program is broadcast twice, at 10 pm Eastern/7 pm Pacific and again at 1 am Eastern/10 pm Pacific.

I had to start a new thread for this, as all the Menezes threads have been closed.

TV Alert!

I had to BUMP this thread because of tonight's premature TAT rollover.
