As democratic norms and journalistic freedom become increasingly threatened, the story of President Rodrigo Duterte’s strongman rule in the Philippines resonates ever closer to home. Amid a nationwide crackdown on the news media, follow internationally acclaimed press-freedom fighter—and TIME’s 2018 Person of the Year—Maria Ressa as she fights to chronicle Duarte’s extrajudicial war on drugs and weaponization of social media. Navigating fake news punditry, bomb threats and arrest warrants, the tenacious co-founder of Rappler news will stop at nothing to bring truth to power, even if it means becoming collateral damage in the war against democracy itself.
