Vajda's Alcoa Testimony

Yesterday's scathing post by UNC's Leroy Towns reminded me that not everyone got to see the "Rough Cut" documentary on Alcoa provided by UNC-TV's Eszter Vajda to the Senate J-2 committee last week.
"At some point, the story’s reporter pieced together a new story and took it to the legislature for viewing. What’s unclear here is whether the reporter’s actions were sanctioned by UNC-TV, or whether she did it on her own without permission of the station."
Sources within the station say they knew Vajda was turning over 200+ hours of footage to the committee, but no one knew she was putting this "special edition" together.
A lot of House committees post their exhibits online, but the Senate has yet to catch up, including in this case. So here's the audio of the documentary as I captured it last week. It's 59:00. Sorry it cuts off at the end. That's what happened in committee, and given the circumstances, I just couldn't stomach a public records request to get the original DVD.
