Benefit of the doubt

Stijn Devillé sets up a new performance cycle in episodes with Voordeel van de Twijfel, where each episode is a self-contained theatrical thriller. In this episode, a young investigative journalist stumbles upon large-scale fraud, in which politics and business are involved. The deeper he digs, the more he himself becomes entangled in a web of lies, truth, and doubt. When his own editor-in-chief recoils from publication, he decides to go solo and blog anonymously. Until a death threat falls into the bus. In the era of post-truth and alternative facts, doubt is a perverse system that continuously questions the truth. Lobby groups deliberately sow doubt to question the scientific consensus.
