| About Me |
|
Hi, My name is Chris Butterfield and I'm a collector of Radio Documentary and feature programmes. |
|
Why I collect radio documentaries?
|
|
My love of radio, and the documentary/feature
genre in particular probably stems from my early
childhood years. As a family we didn't have
a television until I was in my early teens,
so listening to the radio was as natural to
me as watching cartoons on the television was
to my friends. Because I live in the UK, this
was principally the BBC's Radio 4. Sunday mornings
always meant Alistair Cooke's “Letter From America”.
With the arrival of the Internet
I've met other collectors of radio programmes
mainly of Radio Drama or Comedy programmes.
I know of only one other collector with a special
interest in documentaries/feature programmes.
Hence my reason for establishing this website.
Are there any other documentary collectors out
there?

Can
a court bring justice to the victims of genocide and ethnic
cleansing? Will the formation of the International
Criminal Court in The Hague create a fairer world
and curb the vile excesses of the worst of us? This clear
and definitive Radio
Netherlands Vox Humana documentary
traces the evolution of accountability and the hopes of
the newly established Court. It shows the routes by which
the accused may be forced for the first time to answer
for their crimes. Officials and judges explain their mandate,
but lest we become snung in the legal niceties of it all,
one little girl explains why she is a victim seeking justice
in this documentary by Michele
Ernsting.
