Every day, journalist, TIME Person of the Year and Nobel Peace laureate Maria Ressa asks herself the same question: what are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?

Crusading Filipino journalist Maria Ressa has spent decades speaking truth to power.

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, UNESCO World Press Freedom Prize, TIME Person of the Year, and countless further accolades, Maria’s work tracking disinformation networks seeded by her own government, spreading lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate, has landed her in trouble with the most powerful man in the country: President Duterte. Now, hounded by the state, she has multiple arrest warrants against her name, and a potential 100+ years behind bars to prepare for – while she stands trial for speaking the truth.

Live on stage at The Conduit and livestreamed, Maria joins co-founder of The Conduit, Paul van Zyl, to tell the story of how democracy dies by a thousand cuts, and how an invisible atom bomb has exploded online that is killing our freedoms. It maps a network of disinformation – a heinous web of cause and effect – that has netted the globe: from Duterte’s drug wars, to America’s Capitol Hill, to Britain’s Brexit, to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare, to Facebook and Silicon Valley, to our own clicks and our own votes.

Don’t miss this urgent cry for us to wake up and hold the line, before it is too late.
