The transcript highlights stories of individuals like Dr. J. Badacharya, who faced backlash for predicting the consequences of COVID lockdowns, Roland Freier, who published research challenging assumptions about police violence, and Macielea Lina-Jaud, who leads a campaign for women's rights in Iran despite facing threats and exile.
