The Fifth Estate looks closely at the history and operations of the WE Charity, its triumphs and missteps, and its relationship with the Trudeau family.
The embattled co-founders of the charity, Craig and Marc Kielburger, describe themselves as “political roadkill” after the extent of their ties to Justin Trudeau’s family were revealed, months after the federal government handed them a contract worth millions of dollars.
Former employees have come forward to say everything was not as it seemed inside the organization, both in Canada and in its operations overseas.
