Mwenzi
A Data Journalist on the Trail of a Humanitarian Foundation.By Aleks Kavalenko
Length7h 40m
About this audiobook
An editor receives a manuscript with one instruction: publish it if its author goes silent.
Journalist Jonas Reuter began with a mortality curve in a Hamburg newsroom. The anomaly led him to Mwenzi, a disease recorded in aid reports but elusive in independent research, and to the powerful Voss Foundation. Following the trail takes him through Geneva archives and Nigerian clinics. The closer he comes to an explanation, the more his reporting threatens his work, his friendships and the fragile bond with his daughter Mira.
Who controls the evidence when the institutions under scrutiny also control the language used to describe it?
Mwenzi is a novel of investigative suspense about influence, doubt and the cost of looking again.
