Exceptional

Four Thought

Available for over a year

David Baker asks what happens to the families of people shot by the police. Over the years, he has spent time with many such families - bereaved, grieving, often angry - in the UK and overseas. In this powerful talk David reflects on his time with three families in the United States, and asks whether their experience - not just the loss of a relative but what happened afterwards - was exceptional, or sadly not. Producer: Peter Snowdon.
