Controlling the Narrative / Power to Congo
S5 E22:
One of the deadliest places to be a journalist is the Philippines, where the new President has openly threatened the media and silenced his critics. Gianna Toboni heads to Manila to see the dangerous work of local journalists reporting on President Rodrigo Duterte's brutal war on drugs. Also: legendary journalist Carl Bernstein discusses the state of our own media and the importance of a free press in holding the powerful accountable. Plus, the War in Congo is the deadliest since World War II, killing more than 5 million people. But throughout the conflict, a remarkable group of Rangers have remained, fighting to protect Congo's Gorillas and other wildlife and natural resources. Ben Anderson trained and patrolled with the rangers over 10 years ago. He returned to see the remarkable progress they're making.
