What happens

Dogumentary: Get a Life er en dansk kortfilm fra 2004 instrueret af Michael Klint. Udsendelsen fortæller om en uhyggelig sygdom og kampen for at hjælpe ofrene. Samtidig handler udsendelsen også om prime-time-tv. Om, hvad der når og ikke når vores tv-skærme, og om de journalistiske og etiske dilemmaer, der er forbundet med denne form for selvcensur.
