S25E06 Collective: Unravelling a Scandal

In 2015, a tragic fire at a Bucharest nightclub claims 27 lives and injures 180 others. Shortly after, burn victims in the hospital, initially thought to have non-life-threatening injuries, start to perish as well. A dedicated doctor steps forward as a whistleblower, collaborating with a group of journalists who expose shocking corruption within Romania's healthcare system, reaching the highest levels. As the journalists dig deeper, they uncover widespread fraud. Following the appointment of a new health minister, they document his struggle to enact reforms in a system plagued by corruption. Oscar-shortlisted and Bafta-longlisted, Collective: Unravelling a Scandal highlights the powerful role of investigative journalism.
