Anyone know when this is re-playing or a place to watch it?

Great documentary.
I haven't been - and hope I never am - in a situation where someone very close to me is killed in a tragedy. But as much as you want justice for the victims and their families, it makes you wonder at want point the quest for justice get in the way of the healing process and just prolongs the suffering. I can think of two people who died in my hometown when I was growing up where the families pushed long and hard for "justice." On the outside it looks like they're trying to change something (a bridge in one case, a emergency response policy in the other) so that the tragedy won't occur to others, but it feels more like they're doing it to put the blame on something when it was just a tragedy (or, if anything, the victim's own recklessness).
(I realize my examples where the victims' families are trying to create something to blame aren't perfect analogies for Hillsborough where there was a preventable cause, people who deserved blame, and a coverup. But I think the point about prolonging the grieving still stands)
Did anyone catch the two 30 for 30 shorts last night? The Chilean one sounded really fascinating.
