- Important true story.
Ben Koenigsfeld recounts the eye-opening history of Maxence Melo’s fight to expose his government’s corruption. Though Melo’s story, you can see the sad fallout the people of a country face when it’s government is anti-activist and anti-free press. Can’t wait for more episodes!
