Disinformation and Narrative Complexity

With less than one month left before America's pivotal election, Christiane speaks with Bloomberg’s Stephanie Flanders and The New York Times’ Mark Landler about how disinformation is shaping a highly contested race, with Democrats anxious in key swing states. Cate Blanchett and Alfonso Cuarón sit down with Christiane in London to discuss "Disclaimer*", the psychological thriller series in which Christiane makes a cameo appearance, and dive into the show’s themes of truth and deception. Christiane also revisits her reporting on the status of Afghan women just one year after the U.S. toppled the Taliban, and shows how 23 years later things have gone even further backwards, with Afghan women still fighting against the Taliban's misogyny and gender apartheid, even while in exile. Finally, director Steve McQueen speaks with Christiane about his new WWII film, "The Blitz", focusing on the stories of ordinary people separated by war.
