About Free to Speak:

What is free speech? Is it an outdated idea? What about hate speech? The three-part series Free To Speak underscores how free speech is necessary for human survival as it presents thought-provoking, ironic, and often heartbreaking stories.

Host Nadine Strossen is joined by free speech experts, critics, and defenders to examine its power and controversy historically and today.
