Specific products and manufacturers are named. Only one manufacturer agreed to be interviewed for this hard-hitting investigative report. They then tried to bribe the producer so that he would cancel its telecast. "More of a piece of investigative journalism than any other program honored. And what made it special was that it was produced not by a major station or network, but by Robert Richter, an independent producer. He beat the networks, with all their money, at their own game." -New York Times report on DuPont Columbia Award for this documentary (TV's Pulitzer Prize) Written by Robert Richter See less
