The Oscar-nominated Collective follows a team of investigative journalists whose tireless work uncovers a shocking fraud, revealing the price of corruption and ultimately, the price of truth.

In 2015, a fire at a Bucharest nightclub leaves 27 dead and 180 injured. Soon, more victims begin dying in hospitals from wounds that were not life-threatening. Then a doctor blows the whistle to a team of investigative journalists. One revelation leads to another as the journalists start to uncover vast health care fraud.

With up-close access to the dedicated journalists covering the case, this Oscar-nominated doc from Romanian director Alexander Nanau is essential viewing, confirming the critical importance of the free press with every shocking discovery.

Following journalists, whistle-blowers, burn victims, and government officials, Collective is an uncompromising look at the impact of investigative journalism at its best.
