Journalists at Risk: Revealing the Corruption of the SuperRich with Matthew Caruana Galizia

Breaking Social made its big debut at the CPH:DOX International Film Festival, but the conversation is far from over. In this gripping episode, Fredrik sits down with Matthew Caruana Galizia, an investigative journalist who has spent years taking on ultra-wealthy people and corporations to uncover corruption. As the creator of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation, Matthew fights for justice for his mother, a Maltese journalist who was assassinated in 2017.

Matthew shares the story of how he and his colleagues made the decision to pursue this dangerous work, despite the risks. He explains how these corporations intentionally create confusing networks to mask their corruption, and the grave dangers journalists face when they try to expose the truth.

Join us for an eye-opening conversation about the critical role of investigative journalists in holding the powerful accountable, and the sacrifices they make in the name of the truth. Don't miss this chance to hear firsthand from a hero of Breaking Social and learn more about Matthew's ongoing fight against corruption.

Cities are becoming increasingly unliveable for most people. Costs are rising but incomes are not. Sky-high rents, evictions, homelessness, and substandard housing are common realities for urban dwellers across the planet. There is a global housing crisis. How did this basic human right get so lost? Who is pushing people out of their homes and cities, and what’s being done to pushback? 

On the heels of the release of the award-winning documentary, PUSH, filmmaker, Fredrik Gertten and Leilani Farha, the former UN Special Rapporteur on the right to housing, have reconvened. Join the filmmaker and the advocate as they reflect on their experiences making PUSH and exchange ideas and stories about the film's central issue: the financialization of housing and its fall-out.
