Nobody Speak

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio

Published June 26, 2017 at 9:00 AM MDT

Monday, we're talking about what happens when the right to privacy comes up against a free press. Director Brian Knappenberger's film uses as a case study the trial over Hulk Hogan's sex tape. With the funding of an internet billionaire, Hogan sued and ruined the online tabloid Gawker. It’s a tawdry story, but the film explores the ways big money can silence the media. It’s called Nobody Speak. (Rebroadcast)

Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. It's now available for streaming on Netflix.
