WEAREARRESTED

About the show

When a journalist receives a flash-drive containing critical evidence of illegal government activity, he is duty-bound to publish the story. But with the nation destabilised and divided, a sinister power is eroding the rule of law. What will be the cost of speaking out? #WeAreArrested is the extraordinary true story of a journalist's fight for the truth. Adapted from the book by Can Dündar, who was arrested for publishing footage of Turkish State Intelligence sending weapons into Syria, this deeply moving tribute to the bravery of journalists finds urgent new life as authoritarian politics spread across the globe.
