Video Diaries

on BBC Two England

Three Weeks in Calcutta
Second in the series in which documentary tradition is turned on its head when the subjects of the programmes turn the cameras on themselves.
Each 'diarist' has used a sophisticated but simple-to-use video camera to make a video about their lives.
A young Londoner, Lisa Chidell, makes an emotionally draining visit to Calcutta, where she becomes immersed in the struggles of the Marie Stopes family planning agency which is facing an explosion in the number of births.
