Democracy is at war. We can see the forces rallied against it: autocratic states like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, techno-aristocrats, religious fundamentalists and populist demagogues. 


From the trenches of Ukraine to the halls of power in the US, democratic, free values are under determined assault. 


But, there are those who resist. 


In 'Why We Fight' we talk to those who claim to be defending democracy; that's everyone from soldiers, protestors, activists, religious leaders, industrialists and politicians.  

We find out who they are, what drove them to take up the struggle, what their work is and why their idea of democracy is worth fighting for.
