Tonight at 9PM.
Just to see those that survived tell their tale of events and how terrified they were.
I think it's important to see... somewhat just to see how actions have consequences.

I assume you mean for outside the UK... I can't say whether it is up or not on YouTube.
May have to search around Google... anyway the programme was called "The Batman Shootings"
It did touch upon whether Holmes had a mental illness... when speaking to an expert in mental illness, they said that it could be depression or bipolar... though he also thinks that there is a possibility that Holmes could fake the mental illness.

I thought it was good at focusing at the victims without prying too much. Especially, asking a Columbine survivor was a good idea.
But as far as commenting on James Holmes, it wasn't that accurate. He didn't work at Mc Donalds and he did have internet accounts other than the dating profiles. And it's probably safe to say he had depression since at least in one study 100% of school shooters suffered from depression. Any other mental condition is difficult to specualte now, anyway.
As far as information goes this documentary was clearly rushed but if it was about something else, then it was probably good.
