Thought Police
Thought Police examines the long history of governments suppressing speech – with clear echoes of George Orwell’s warning of a world without free speech. The program weaves personal stories from Hong Kong, North Korea, and Peru, whose governments tried to suppress free speech, one of them resulting in a monumental – and avoidable – human tragedy.
