Sargent-Disc BEST SCIENCE DOCUMENTARY
War in the Blood
Arthur Cary, Morgan Matthews, Ben Brown, Saskia Rusher & Andrew Phillips for Minnow Films BBC Two
An intimate feature length documentary following two patients through groundbreaking ‘first in-human’ trials for CAR T-cell therapy, a treatment described as the beginning of the end of cancer.
Not allowed to meet, Graham (53) and Mahmoud (18) are nevertheless bound together by their commitment to the treatment and their faith in the science. Terminally ill, the trial represents their only option. How do their ages and life experiences affect their physical and emotional response?
This was an extraordinary film: captivating from start to finish. It gave real insight into the development of pioneering medical treatment and highlighted the objectivity of the research scientists and the humanity of the doctors with their patients. The access and the relationships of trust developed with contributors made this film compelling. Overall, it was an emotional, well- paced film that was heart-breaking at times.
The Big Picture – The World According to AI: The Bias in the Machine
Sanjiev Johal, Cori Crider, Nicholas Muirhead, Ryan Kohls, Sean Griffin & Denise Lister for Al Jazeera English Al Jazeera
Artificial Intelligence is changing how we live and how our lives are governed, from predictive policing and criminal sentencing to loan assessments and health care. Far from creating a brave new world, AI is replicating and amplifying the prejudices of the world as it already is – unjust and unequal. We show how people of colour and minority communities from China to the US are the guinea pigs and victims in a world according to AI.
