There are several socially-relevant and interesting TV documentaries such as Sine Totoo, The Correspondents, I-Witness and Probe but their timeslots are too late already to merit wide viewership.

In-depth and critical TV documentaries are essential in exposing social problems, sharpening public opinion and raising policy debates. Therefore, a reconfiguration in the TV programming is imperative.
