Truth and Power Season 1

What happens when private institutions and governments abuse their power and break the public trust? Pivot’s new investigative documentary series, Truth and Power, explores that question while separating fact from misinformation. The 10-part series highlights the stories of ordinary people going to extraordinary lengths to expose large-scale abuses of power: from corporations receiving lucrative government contracts for dangerous private prisons to governments using data-gathering technology to scoop up huge amounts of information about their citizens. Using probing interviews, original footage, and newly unearthed documents, the series unpacks the timely issues of security, surveillance, and profiteering in the digital age.
