Brazilian investigative journalist Juliana Dal Piva had been a human rights reporter for many years. But in 2019, when President Jair Bolsonaro rose to power, her attention turned towards corruption at the highest levels of government.
Her investigations were to put her on a collision course with the president’s supporters and the military, as well as with commercial elites close to him.
In this episode, Juliana tells Nicola about the personal and professional ramifications of exposing the truth, the death threats she has faced, and why she believes that journalists play such a vital role in holding power to account.
