An exciting new series,  presented on PRX, details the drama of international affairs through exclusive interviews with opinion-makers. From the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Russia’s re-emergence as a Soviet-style state under Vladimir Putin, the post-modern czar and mafia don, to China’s emerging dominance of the Indian Ocean and global shipping routes under the rule of Xi Jinping, Beijing’s most powerful leader since Mao, we go beyond the headlines to provide provocative storytelling from newsmakers in the know. Produced by award-winning writer/producers Nancy Koprowski and Gene Koprowski.
