Fight for the Truth (25x30)
Ημερομηνία προβολής: Νοέ 09, 2020
Five hundred kilometres from the nearest capital city, the outback mining town of Broken Hill is fighting to save its only newspaper.

But when the pandemic struck, advertising revenue collapsed, forcing the newspaper to shut down.
Former Broken Hill resident and mining executive Robert Williamson heard about the community’s distress and raised enough money to restart the printing presses temporarily.
Now the newspaper’s union owners face a tough decision: should they sell their beloved paper to private interests?
