Combining searing verbatim testimony with dramatic reconstruction.
On theRecordBy Christine Bacon & Noah Birksted-Breen
When I’m writing articles, I’m not scared at all. I’m on a high. It’s such a rush.The fear comes later.
Sri Lankan brothers Lal and Lasantha dare to publish stories that others won’t touch, but atwhat cost? Meanwhile, in Mexico Lydia uncovers a child pornography ring involving seniorpoliticians, Elena has a run-in with the Moscow mafia, Amira reports direct from the Israeli-occupied territories and Zoriah comes up against the US Military over his Iraq war images.
On the Recordcircumnavigates the globeto bring you true stories of six independentjournalists, all linked by their determination to shed light on the truth.
