Faultlines
From Al Jazeera English, Free Speech TV presents Fault Lines, a bi-weekly series that digs deeper into what is driving the big stories of the day. At the same time, it opens a window on to the stories that have been neglected by mainstream news, but which still have much to teach us about the way the world works today. Fault Lines also brings you the stories of the street too, putting a face to those who are falling through the cracks, and giving a platform to those who are fighting back. Fault Lines are the lines of responsibility for the crises the world faces. Our task is to follow them, and to ask the tough questions of those at fault.
