As much as I like Hana Baba's work in prior pieces such as her Angel Island feature, I really think this piece needs another edit and the voicing redone. The story is a good one. For too long cultural differences have not entered the discussion of mental health. There are some good interviews and sound in this piece but it's way too long as a feature at 11 minutes. I think it needs to be around the 7-8 minute range so that it will flow more cohesively and keep listener interest. The narration also needs to be redone to match the tone of the piece. Reporters often make the mistake of trying to sound the same and offer the same delivery with every story. While consistency is good, each story deserves its own way of telling. The opening was rather shocking to me in the offhand delivery of the narration. To talk about Iris Chang's horrific suicide so casually without explaining culturally why she would commit this act does the very thing that the mental health professionals in this piece are trying not to do. Sadly, I can't recommend this piece right now though I know it would be stronger and more effective with a rewrite.
