Hisham Matar's lifelong quest to discover how his father died: Hisham Matar's father was a Libyan dissident who disappeared under the regime of Moammar Qaddafi. His new memoir, The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between, chronicles his search, and his own struggle to understand his troubled homeland. It is already being hailed as a classic. Madame Justice Lynn Smith: When she was a BC Supreme Court judge, Lynn Smith made history. She struck down Canada's doctor-assisted suicide law, paving the way for the Supreme Court of Canada to follow suit and compel the Canadian government to reform the federal law. B.C. seniors build a new way to age in place: Karin Wells brings us the story of a joyful social experiment. A school bus driver, a mountain guide, a teacher, a hard-living old DJ, a bunch of nurses, an anthropologist -- 44 people in all -- have formed their own community. They are strangers turned neighbours - prepared to live together and look after each other until the end of their days. It's called co-housing. Spotlight and how an investigation into abuse committed by Catholic clergy forever changed Boston: The Academy Award-winning film, "Spotlight", tells the story of the team of journalists at the Boston Globe who won a Pulitzer for their investigation into the sexual abuse of children perpetrated by Catholic clergy. Michael Enright talks with Globe editor-at-large Walter Robinson (played by Michael Keaton in the film) about what it was like to pursue the story in a city where politics and daily life were dominated by the Catholic Church.
