  • A documentary about the 2015 fire at Collectiv is available to UK viewers for the next 11 months. First released in 2019, Collective: Unravelling A Scandal is now available to stream publicly via the BBC's Storyville series on iPlayer. The film uncovers the corruption that followed a tragic fire in the Bucharest nightclub. "In 2015, a fire at a nightclub in Bucharest, Romania, leaves 27 dead and 180 injured," reads the BBC synopsis. "Soon afterwards, the burn victims recovering in hospital - from seemingly non-life-threatening injuries - begin dying too. A doctor at the heart of the story acts as whistleblower to a team of journalists, who in turn uncover outrageous corruption in Romania’s hospitals that goes all the way to the top." Collective: Unravelling a Scandal was Oscar-shortlisted and Bafta-longlisted for best documentary. Watch it via BBC iPlayer.
