The killers of Berta Caceres had every reason to believe they’d get away with murder. More than 100 other environmental activists in Honduras had been killed in the previous five years, yet almost no one had been punished for the crimes. Bloomberg’s Blood River follows a four-year quest to find her killers – a twisting trail that leads into the country’s circles of power.

If you’re not sure if the accused gets a fair shake in the podcast then you haven’t heard all the episodes. We are all weighing out possibilities and the podcast does this so fairly that there are disagreements between people who have heard the show. An important story, well reported.
Not so objective

With great interest I listened to all 7 episodes of this podcast. The storyline is suspenseful but in my opinion too one sided “favoring” Human Right Activist point of view. The podcast is focused on whether David was involved and / or the mastermind. That Sergio is in prison for the murder of Birtha is not well reported in this podcast - it is clear he should not be there. The fact a Human Right Activist is allowed to “objectively” comment that FMO could have contributed to the death of Birtha is outrageous and looks more like a smear campaign, not worthy of the good name of Bloomberg journalism.

The killers of Berta Caceres had every reason to believe they’d get away with murder.
