Introducing ... Pig Iron
<p>Introducing...Pig Iron. A story about the mysterious death – and life – of a young war reporter on the frontline. At first, it looked like another tragedy of war… a young journalist caught in the crossfire. Until, just hours after his death, his story splintered. The government claimed he wasn’t a journalist at all, but a foreign fighter – a legitimate target. Other evidence suggested he was killed on purpose for being a reporter. In this new series from Tortoise and the team behind Left To Die, Pig Iron is a journey into the dark seduction of war, and what really happened to Christopher Allen. </p><br><p>Listen to episode one today.
