‘Dark Shining Moment’ tells the story of the first people to detect Russia’s interference – before that pivotal election. It’s a narrative about how information has been used to create a new reality for the public, for democracies and for the world – kicking off the crisis we’re in today.

The 6-part narrative account is a Ranieri & Co original production, with myself as writer and narrator. I’m excited about this as it represents the product of years of work. Ranieri & Co is Melbourne-based production company.

The expert team at Ranieri & Co includes Executive Producer Greg Muller, Consulting Producer Richard Baker, Production Manager Nick Randall and Sound Designer Marty Peralta. Rob Ranieri, co-founder of Ranieri & Co, marshalled has overseen the its marketing.

Dark Shining Moment, to my mind, fills in a crucial blank in the timeline of what exactly happened in 2016- and in fact, the years before.

How did global democracy go from mild unease to the endless panic we know today?
