John Chipman's radio documentary, A Death in the Family, was produced for CBC Radio One's The Current. This co-production with the fifth estate focuses on the relationship between Bill Mullins-Johnson and his brother Paul, the father of Valin, whose death led to Bill's wrongful conviction for murder. Once close, in the wake of Valin's death and Bill's conviction, the brothers became implacable enemies. Now, they are struggling to understand what happened.
