Review for Catching Cancer, ABC TV, 2009

“Riveting... thought provoking... has all the touchstones of a good medical thriller... There's something redemptive in Pemberton's work. She straddles the categories of art and journalism, entertainment and knowledge. She is a filmmaker who, in respected director Ken Burns's terms, is really a "tribal storyteller.”

Review for Angels & Demons, ABC TV, 2008

“Programs such as this…redeem television. They take a medium that too often scrapes the bottom of the barrel and show what can be achieved in the right hands.”
