Predator: The Secret Scandal Of J-PopJohnny Kitagawa’s legendary male-only talent agency trained young boys to become superstars. But for over 50 years, Japan has kept Kitagawa’s dark secret – a long history of allegations of sexual abuse, made by boys in his agency. Even after the music mogul’s death in 2019, the Japanese media remained largely silent. Why? BBC journalist Mobeen Azhar explores the suffocating reality of being a J-pop idol and the influence that Kitagawa had on the media, and exposes the brutal consequences of turning a blind eye. - Fox and the Big LieA13
Fox and the Big LieTwo years ago, reporter Sarah Ferguson investigated how Rupert Murdoch's Fox News promoted Donald Trump's misinformation. This week Fox has abruptly agreed to pay more than $1 billion in a defamation settlement with Dominion. Four Corners revisits its investigation into the inner workings of the powerful Murdoch-owned conservative news outlet, in the wake of the company's billion-dollar settlement with an election technology company. - Inside Russia: Traitors and HeroesA16
Inside Russia: Traitors and HeroesThis week Four Corners goes deep inside Russia to document the opposition to the Ukrainian war. The filmmakers get rare access to the brave Russians who are willing to speak out against their government. Despite the incredible risk, a group of graffiti artists, an actor, a local politician, and a YouTube influencer let the producers film their lives as they voice dissent. It’s been dangerous for Russians to speak up against Vladimir Putin’s regime for years. New censorship laws, introduced since the invasion of Ukraine, have made it tougher than ever. This Storyville, BBC co-production is a gripping and timely piece of journalism. - Putin and the PresidentsA23
