What They Knew

No sound55 sec

Fifty-five seconds, built entirely out of documents the people in charge wrote themselves — their own diaries, their own sworn testimony, their own funding records.

  • A diary entry giving the real number, written the same week a different number went out in public.
  • A briefing, on camera, saying there were no red flags.
  • Where the money came from, and who signed for it.

On the record

We are like you. Take a number.

Jason is No. 001. Whoever tells us next is 002, and no number is ever used twice. It costs nothing. It is a count of people who stopped keeping it to themselves.
