You know how they say truth is stranger than fiction?

There's a corollary.

Truth is more gruesome than fiction, too.

For instance, here's some promotional copy for what sounds like a Hollywood thriller.

It's 1977 Argentina. The military has seized power. Miriam Lewin is 19 years old, an activist and a target of a brutal dictatorship. She'll spend two years in prison, but

Miriam is one of the lucky ones. Her fellow prisoners will be tossed from airplanes to their deaths

on the infamous death flights. Three decades later, Miriam is a respected investigative journalist.

She steadfastly avoided doing stories about the death flights, the subject being too painful,

until a phone call from an Italian photojournalist changes everything.

It's harrowing, edge-of-your-seat stuff, and it's not fiction.

On today's Saturday matinee, we're bringing you the first episode from the new podcast

Avenger about one journalist's quest to hold accountable those responsible for

unspeakable atrocities.

I hope you enjoy. While you're listening, be sure to search for and follow Avenger.
