Who rules the world? image
Synopsis:

Politicians, big tech, media moguls, and hidden influencers all hustle for control behind the scenes – but who really holds the power today? In a world saturated with misinformation, disinformation, and unchecked facts, it’s hard to know freedom of speech from fake news.
 
Is it all just conspiracy theories, or does it really take espionage, cover-ups, and eye-watering donations to buy a seat at the top table? From democracy and geopolitics to dictatorships and the economy, join our expert panel as they discuss overlapping spheres of influence, how global power truly works, and who might actually be pulling the strings.
