The Future of Free Speech

Robin Lustig maps the shifting frontlines in the global battle over free speech.

Is the right to speak freely protected in the world today? And is it right that it should be protected? Those were questions raised when the United States of America’s Constitution received its famous first amendment in 1789. The Amendment stated that Congress should make no law that controlled freedom of speech or of the press. Robin Lustig travels the globe today to explore those same questions. In each episode he considers one of the gatekeepers of Free speech - The Courts, Journalism, Religion, Universities and the Tech companies.
