Endangered

Endangered chronicles a year in the life of four journalists living and working in democratic countries where freedom of the press has historically been considered a "given." Yet, as online misinformation proliferates and world leaders brazenly denigrate the press, distrust of traditional media is on the rise, and journalists are increasingly facing situations more typically encountered in war zones or autocratic states. Cutting back and forth between unfolding stories in Mexico City, São Paulo, Brazil and the United States, Endangered introduces us to Sáshenka, Patrícia, Oliver, & Carl, whose safety and professions are under threat as they cover political rallies, police brutality, BLM protests, and the global COVID-19 pandemic, while confronting slander, hostility and violence from their own governments.
