Thought Police
free to speak

Fri, Jul 17 7:00 P.M. NH World (11.3)  

Thought Police examines the long history of governments suppressing speech - with clear echoes of George Orwell's warning of a world without free speech. The program weaves personal stories from Hong Kong, North Korea, and Peru, whose governments tried to suppress free speech, one of them resulting in a monumental - and avoidable - human tragedy.
