Channel 4 commissions The Decision (w/t)

Channel 4 has announced a slate of new documentary commissions for 2019 that dig deep into the sites of power and decision-making across public bodies and private enclaves, encompassing stories that are both profoundly intimate and state of the nation. 

The Decision (w/t) 4×60’
