AFTER THE CAMERAS WENT AWAY (http://www.cbc.ca/fifth ) Wednesday, February 25 at 9p.m. on CBC-TV
All times are Eastern Standard Time. See right for program information.
What happens to the people we meet in the course of producing our stories after the television cameras go away? Last season, the fifth estate re-visited just a few to see how their lives have changed since we last saw them. The result was so interesting and so popular that we're doing it again this year.
Linden MacIntyre returns to Saskatchewan to talk to the central figure in our story The Scandal of the Century. In 1985, Hana Gartner met a fourteen year old whiz kid who said he wanted to win a Nobel Prize. Find out what he's doing now. And Bob McKeown re-introduces us to a young woman, a victim of childhood sexual abuse, whose life has taken an amazing turn.
If memory serves me, one of the Berry sisters from New Hampshire will be shown (for about 10 to 20 minutes) since the last CBC update talked about Vicki's case and of course Mike Moss. Also I think the Berry girls lawsuit case is on appeal right now. It won summary judgement with respect to common law negligence (ie. the ladies had the right to sue the WTS for not reporting) but the judge decided to rule against his own state law and allowed the WTS to hide behind ecclesiastical (clerical) privilege to not testify. Thus, the civil case against the WTS for the moment is on appeal. Paul Berry, the child molester, still has about 45 years left in jail for what he did all the while he is still considered a member in good standing.
