Anthony Bannister, Investigative Journalist for NPR, interviews people who were witnesses to horrible crimes, human injustice, human suffering, and events which have been hidden or covered up. His reason and purpose are to incite compassion and care in the world and to make people aware of the true (hidden) face of America. He never talks politics or religion, never makes accusations, or blames anyone, using only the witness of suffering and injustice to wake people up.
