I loved the way this deeply personal story was introduced. References to armed revolutionaries, love stretching beyond death and the soundbite in which the daughter talked about a story that is "...too shocking to tell the truth." All that, early in the presentation, raised my level of interest.

Soon, however, I felt like an interloper who was encroaching on the personal and tragic story of a grieving family. The very real drama wore me down in the end and I was left reflecting on the horror of the incident and not the lessons learned.

I was grateful that I was given context for this family's personal horror in respect to the unneccesary deaths of tens of thousands of Sri Lankans. That context came some 5-minutes into the show and about the time I was looking for background.

Good use of sound and music and appropriate music at that. Clean edits and incredibly authentic in voice. The gun shots might turn some off but it drove a grim point home for me.

I must admit that I had to work hard to understand the heavily accented voices, especially that of the husband, and I found myself desiring additional narration as we progressed through the story.

Would I air this program assuming I could find another half-hour segment that would be suitable and somewhat complimentary? Probably not if only because I feel I have so much other content to use that tells the story of Americans and citizens of Iraq in a war that is top of the mind and top of the hour on the radio dial in the U-S-A.
