Last Line of Defense & El Rostro (S05E17)
S05E17
In “Last Line of Defense,” Cord Jefferson travels to a state severely affected by the crisis surrounding the right to fair legal representation. He investigates the struggles of public defenders who are overwhelmed and undercompensated as they navigate a flawed judicial system. In “El Rostro,” VICE ventures into the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, where multinational corporations are rapidly depleting valuable natural resources. Accompanied by the native Harakmbut people, Ben Anderson delves into the forest to uncover sacred sites that the community hopes will protect their land from corporate exploitation.
