See You in Court
Gepresenteerd door CBC
Deze podcast vertelt de verhalen achter de rechtszaken die Canada blijvend hebben veranderd en de vaak onverwachte mensen die daarvoor de strijd aangingen. Van ex-gedetineerden en controversiële ondernemers tot gewone burgers die ongewild in een juridisch gevecht belandden: elke zaak laat zien hoe één persoon het verschil kan maken. Presentator Falen Johnson gaat samen met een journalist dieper in op een spraakmakende rechtszaak en onderzoekt wat mensen ertoe brengt de wet uit te dagen, welke prijs ze daarvoor betalen en hoe de samenleving eruit zou zien als deze zaken nooit waren gevoerd. Want ook als een rechtszaak is afgerond, is het verhaal vaak nog lang niet voorbij.
