The Works

on BBC Two England

Fatal Exposure. Photographer Davide Sorrenti 's death earlier this year from a heroin overdose sparked an outcry against the use of images that seemed to glamorise addiction. Sorrenti specialised in pictures of emaciated girls with blank expressions, shot in dimly lit alleys and shabby rooms. Just 20 years old when he died,
Davide Sorrenti was controversial to the end, and his death may not have been a straightforward result of a life misspent.
Including interviews with his mother Francesca, this programme examines the photographer's art, his lifestyle and the mark he made on the world in which he worked.
