ONE IN THREE by ADAM WISHART: "Monkeys, Rats and Me" is now online

My documentary about animal rights and experimentation that was broadcast on the BBC in November has been placed online, not sure by whom.

I'm told by my sources close to the animal liberation movement that the film is also being recut and portions of it are being passed around with their own particular slant. In the event that I can't police that, I figure that having the full thing downloadable at least allows people to see it in its full context.

I really hope more people get to see it. Although the images are a little dodgy, I think the content is as vibrant as provoking as ever.

I'm not sure what the copyright status of it is, I imagine many of the rights are part of the blanket BBC deal. But until the BBC gets its act together to put all this kind of stuff up immediately after its broadcast it seems like its fair game for it to be online.

The links are as follows.
On Google Video. Here.
And in the Internet Archive. Here
I guess its not on Youtube because it doesn't break into 10 minute chunks.

Links to the very fine reviews are here.

BIO

I am Adam Wishart, a writer and documentary maker. I wrote ONE IN THREE : a son's journey into the history and science of cancer. It was nominated for the Royal Society Book Prize. Read the Book's Introduction
I started it because my dad fell ill with cancer, and I wanted a book which answered some of my basic questions: how did he get it, would he be healed and why was there no cure?

It's good to see the unadulterated version of your documentary made available on the web, I do hope the BBC can see your put it up.

I understand that you recorded several interviews that never made it into the final documentary. It would be a shame if this material were to never see the light of day. In particular I'm sure that many people would be interested in seeing the response by Dr. Richard Klausner to the (mis)quotation about the value of animal research in developing treatments for cancer that is attributed to him by anti-vivisectionist groups. To my knowledge such a response is not yet available elsewhere.

Did you not read the news regarding Monkey Rats & Me?

"The programme included strong claims by scientists about the efficacy of animal experimentation which were not challenged."...."the programme will not be repeated in its present form."

This video is in breach of the code of conduct by the BBC, far from your claims made in the description.
