Institutions Under Investigation
Systems, Stakes, and Scrutiny
These are stories about people who find themselves pressed up against something bigger than they are — a court, a party machine, a bank, a bureaucracy — and have to decide how much of themselves to spend fighting it or feeding it. Whether it's a tax raid, a rigged election, a courtroom, or a chess scandal, the drama comes from the same place: an outsider or reluctant insider gathering evidence, testimony, or resolve against a system built to resist exactly that scrutiny. Even the documentaries in the mix argue like courtroom briefs, treating institutions as things to be cross-examined rather than simply described.
