"When keeping secrets become the norm, telling the truth becomes a crime.
Tales of corruption, war crimes, and bribery –narratives deliberately concealed from the public’s gaze—are open secrets widely popularized by spy and action films. But when the reality-fiction divide crumbles, the world is caught in scandal. Familiar characters emerge—victims and perpetrators, heroes and traitors.
For those who thrive in lies in deceit, some secrets are meant to be kept in the dark and even carried to the grave for the sake of “national security.” But for those who know better and are brave enough, there are secrets worth revealing to the world, even at the expense of their own safety."
