1:28:00Now PlayingFor the greater part of a century, conversations and narratives about global justice and free speech have been dominated by the West. From seminal works of history to newspapers of record to media networks to politics to public discourse, Western voices have often been louder than the rest.
And while the West has long claimed to act in the name of democracy, equality and freedom, some wonder whether it always lives up to its own ideals. Can the world rely on Western media, politics and public rhetoric to promote global justice, or is it simply furthering its own interests?
At the tenth Bradford Literature Festival, speakers Fatima Bhutto, Steve Clemons and Konstantin Kisin (@triggerpod) came together alongside an onstage audience of students and recent graduates for a lively town hall exploring how this narrative control plays out on the world stage.
This Doha Debates town hall was moderated by journalist Remona Aly and produced in partnership with @BradfordLiteratureFestival. It was filmed at University of Bradford in Bradford, England on July 6, 2024.
