Bidding, Hosting & Corruption: Part II

From the LA riots to the Tlatelolco Massacre to Beijing 2022, governments have used the Olympics to paper over social problems, suppress dissent and force their agency on citizens. The price that their hosts pay for the honor can be staggering, if not horrifying. In part II of this series on host cities, we look at how we can do better, as well as how the Olympics might adapt for the future. Hosted by Molly Bloom. Produced by FilmNation Entertainment in association with Gilded Audio. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
