The China, Russia and U.S. narrative contest in Southeast Asia with Kean Wong

It was the moment the 21st Century began in earnest: In 2016, Russia reached out across the internet and interfered with America’s democracy, setting the conditions that helped propel Donald Trump into the White House.
Dark Shining Moment tells the story of the first people to detect Russia’s interference - before that pivotal election. It’s a narrative about how information has been used to create a new reality for the public, for democracies and for the world - kicking off the crisis we’re in today.
While the first six episodes titled Dark Shining Moment tells the story of how Russia exploited the internet, The Dark Shining Moment Countercast examines some of the promoted narratives coming out of authoritative regimes. Identifying such disinformation is just part of the puzzle. The Countercast will also explore how democracy can thrive in the digital age because, in the information age, narrative doesn't just inform a society--it shapes the questions that people ask.
