War on Truth

Archive on 4

Available for over a year

What’s fake, what’s real? Stories from the information war over Ukraine. BBC disinformation reporter Marianna Spring speaks to people caught up in the battle for the truth. Families and friendships are being torn apart not only by the fighting, but by the radically different versions of reality that Ukrainians and Russians are being presented with, on TV and online. And social media has become a battleground for competing versions of truth. It's a fight that is taking place in parallel to the military campaign – but one that also has real consequences for the people caught up in it. Producer: Ant Adeane Editor: Ed Main
