Selvmordslægen
Documentary
DR Dokumentar has closely followed Svend Ling's everyday life, where he is contacted on a daily basis by people who want his help. Svend Lings publicly admits that he guides suicide with medicine, and he is, among other things, behind a suicide guide on the net and the 'Læger for active euthanasia' network, which fights for active euthanasia to be made legal in Denmark. In 2017, that openness led to him being stripped of his authorization as a doctor.

Britain's Greatest Codebreaker
2012 · ★ 5.9
Alan Turing is the genius British mathematician who was instrumental in breaking the German naval Enigma Code during World War II, arguably saving millions of lives. Turing's achievements went unrecognised during his lifetime. Instead he ended up being treated as a common criminal, for being homosexual at a time when homosexual acts were a crime. In 1952, he was convicted of 'gross indecency' with another man and was forced to undergo so-called 'organo-therapy' - chemical castration. Two years later, he killed himself with cyanide, aged just 41. Alan Turing was driven to a terrible despair and early death by the nation he'd done so much to save.
