BBC4 is to broadcast a new documentary following three people that have been sectioned for mental health reasons, and MediaGuardian today spoke to its director.
The programme, entitled Sectioned, has been described as "groundbreaking" for its subject manner, and for the access the programme-makers were able to obtain. Ben Anthony, the director, speaks in the interview about how they secured the consent of the three individuals battling with mental illness, and his reasons for making the show.
"It was a big issue because obviously people with mental health problems that are so ill they are around a hospital environment, the question was about do they have the capability to understand? With people as vulnerable as this we have to be especially careful."
Sectioned is broadcast on Wednesday 19th May. To read the full article, click here.
