Christo Grozev and Grace Blakeley to CPH:DOX

‘Antidote’ + talk with Christo Grozev, Bo Elkjær and Anastasiia Kruope

Acclaimed Bulgarian journalist Christo Grozev, known for his revealing research on Russian intelligence, will join Bo Elkjær, investigative journalist at Dagbladet Information and researcher Anastasiia Kruope from Human Rights Watch in a conversation after the screening of the nail-biting docu-thriller ‘Antidote’ about Grozev and Bellingcat’s work.

With deep insight into geopolitical power games and digital investigative techniques, Grozev will shed light on the themes of ‘Antidote’ and his – at times dangerous – work to uncover the truth in an age of misinformation and war propaganda.

‘You Need This’ + talk with Grace Blakeley and Rune Lykkeberg

British author and political commentator Grace Blakeley, one of the most prominent voices of modern economic thought, will meet Rune Lykkeberg, editor-in-chief of Dagbladet Information. Together they will talk about the financial elite’s domination of the world economy and her new book ‘Vulture Capitalism’ about multinational corporations’ exploitation of crises to concentrate power and wealth.

The conversation will be preceded by a screening of ‘You Need This’, a satirical, incisive saga about the individual and societal effects of the modern world’s all-consuming consumerism and hyper-capitalism.
