'River of Freedom' documentary and misinformation and disinformation in the lead up to the election w/ Byron C Clark: 13 September, 2023

A newly released documentary 'River of Freedom' is being shown in several cinemas across the country. 

The documentary focuses on the perspectives of the convoy who occupied parliament grounds in 2022, who in the film's own words, were “fed up with Covid-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates.”

The film has been promoted on platforms like The Platform, Counterspin, and Reality Check Radio, and has been accused of promoting disinformation. 

News and Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins spoke to activist, researcher, and author of 'Fear: New Zealand's Hostile Underworld of Extremists’, Byron C Clark, about his impression of the documentary, and looking out for misinformation and disinformation in the lead up to the election.
