BURUNDI - Bob Rugurika is the director of Radio Publique Africaine (RPA), the most popular independent radio station in Burundi. As an investigative journalist, he is also a forerunner in the fight for freedom of expression in his country, willing to risk his life to expose the truth. 

With the RPA, he keeps challenging the regime and becomes its number one enemy. Can Bob succeed in keeping freedom of the press alive, while independent media are being silenced, and his family and life are being threatened?
