Fearless - CBC Fifth Estate

CBC's Fifth Estate interviews Jon Heshka on risk in extreme sport and the Sarah Burke story, inspired by our opinion peice published in the Vancouver Sun. See the whole episode here.

I'm not sure that they made the case that they set out to. There are some hints, but they do not clearly answer the question Who is in control? Like Jon, I believe athletes are impelled by corporate interests. Whether it is overt or unconscious is a matter of perspective, but I did find it ironic that the online Fifth Estate episode was preceded by a Red Bull advertisement (at least when I viewed it!).
