Servant of the People on Channel 4

Starting tonight on C4 at 10:35 - Ukraine president Volodimyr Zelensky stars in "Servant of the People"
(Not sure how well it will work with English subtitles) But will give it a watch tonight...

I thought it was quite good.

I’m not sure I think showing it now, even if intended as a tribute, is at all helpful to the overall situation.

He is trying to be (and is) a very credible war leader in the worst situation imaginable. Showing him clowning around years ago is not appropriate, IMO.

After another dreadful loss of civilian life in Ukraine today, have decided not to view this tonight.
Hopefully in better days I eventually will..........

I mean I don't really understand why they are showing it.

BBC Four had a travel documentary around Russia on the night after they invaded Russia. No idea why they bothered with that either.

There have also been some Putin themed programmes on too in the last couple of weeks, on various channels..
If someone is newsworthy, doesn't really qualify them for documentaries being shown too - especially those like Putin..
