2. The programme ‘kidnapped and drugged for family honour’ is
shown on BBC three, Monday 2nd July at 9.00pm. This could be
because of the story line as it needs to be shown after the
watershed as there is inappropriate language and images used
throughout.
This documentary is mixed as there is use of interviews,
observation, narration and found footage. This is to give the
audience a variety of things to look at and listen to so they are
always alert.
Themes used in this documentary are murder, religion and
family.
