Stephen Sackur talks to Bethan Rhys Roberts

Former BBC Foreign Correspondent Stephen Sackur presents ten dramatic cases where journalists and whistleblowers have exposed the truth, despite the powerful doing everything they can to hide it. From the leaked Pentagon Papers revealing US government lies about the scope of the Vietnam War to Alexei Navalny’s fatal role in challenging Putin’s Russia, Sackur puts forward a passionate case for the vital role of investigative journalism in holding the powerful to account in today’s troubled world.

Sackur talks to journalist and presenter Bethan Rhys Roberts, who herself has covered some of the biggest world events of the past 30 years.
