Customer Reviews
Essential listening for anyone with a conscience left!
Thank you very much for bringing these heart-breaking stories to light. I found this looking for the latest developments in case of Gauri Lankesh. These stories are about the slayings of the best human-beings on this planet: Journalists. They tireless speak truth to power and ask the questions that we are too scared to ask. These are our real leaders and they must be protected.
