Four Corners Buying Time
There is not a person in the community that is not affected by cancer in some way. Next on Four Corners, we go inside the hospitals and consulting rooms with Australians who are confronting the reality that the advanced cancer they have could kill them. The question is, how much time have they left and what can their doctors do to buy them more time?
Four Corners is Australia's premier television current affairs program. It has been part of the Australian story since August 1961, exposing scandals, triggering inquiries, firing debate, confronting taboos and interpreting fads, trends and sub-cultures. Its consistently high standards of journalism and film-making have earned international recognition and an array of Walkleys, Logies and other national awards.
