Ronan Farrow to investigate threats against journalists for an HBO documentary film

Deadline

The Pulitzer-winning journalist has begun work on his first project in his multi-film HBO deal. "Farrow and team will investigate threats, intimidation and violence directed at journalists working to expose corruption and abuse by governments, corporations and other powerful interests. The film will follow subjects in the United States and internationally," according to HBO's announcement. "Around the world, journalists are under fire,” said Farrow at the TV press tour. “They’re being spied on using new surveillance technology, imprisoned, even murdered. And we’re seeing evolving tactics deployed against reporters in the United States, too, against the backdrop of a new era of misinformation campaigns and rhetoric that seeks to undermine the very idea of objective reporting."
