    This popped up on my FB page tonight about Siddhartha Mukherjee’s Emperor of All Maladies so thought I’d share the link to it here.

    “Watch Katie Couric’s TV special “Cancer: A Conversation” with filmmaker Ken Burns (PBS), author Siddhartha Mukherjee, and WETA president, CEO & survivor Sharon Rockefeller.
    This interview is a companion piece to CANCER: THE EMPEROR OF ALL MALADIES, airing on PBS next month, and highlights the success and struggles of the science and personal stories that are featured in the film.”

    Marion, I believe that with Netflix and these type of streaming services that someone can change their IP address or router to show that it appears to Netflix and others that someone may be viewing something from a location where they are not from. IE – me changing my location from UK to the USA to watch a USA program, tv, event etc. I know that you can do this via a VPN as well, Virtual Private Network but again that is not something that I have.

    I don’t know all of this for sure, others have told me this works who have done it!

    Hugs,

    Gavin….does Netflix allow you to see Public Broadcasting shows? Sorry, but I am not known for my technical knowledge.

    It sure is Marion and I hope that they will pick up the rights to show it. Could get round the ban by getting Netflix and changing my location but is too expensive for me. Will wait and hope it gets shown here instead.

    Hugs,

    Gavin….perhaps the entire documentary will be shown in the UK as well. Guess some station will have to purchase the viewing rights. Isn’t it how it works?

    Thanks for that Marion. Unfortunately I can’t view it, says I am in the wrong region and mentions viewing rights. Grrrr!
