There are things we think we know about countries. But viral videos, TikTok and 24 hour news has made everything we understand about other places somewhat misinformed, twisted or just downright incorrect.
Which is why, the hosts of Cerca's Passport, Neil Innes and Andrés Bartos, have decided to take this misinformation and turn it on its head, upside down, the wrong way round and inside out.
Neil and Dré want to clear up some of the outright lies about nations we think we know by doing what they do best. Talking it out with someone who actually does know what they’re talking about.
Think of this as a kind of cultural mythbusters.
Welcome, to MisInfoNation.
| HELSINKI: THE UPSIDEDOWN |
The history of Finland is one filled with war and conflict. And yet, the Finnish people consistently rank as some of the happiest on earth. In this episode of Passport, we head to the capital to dig into the psyche of the happiest nation on earth. And to dig into something else too. Underneath Helsinki is the infrastructure for an entire city - below the surface. Parking, churches, swimming pools, soccer fields, go-kart tracks - all the comforts of above-ground living. It’s the most luxurious doomsday bunker you’ve ever seen. But why?
Has their tumultuous history - and their proximity to Russia - driven the innovations going on under the city of Helsinki? Turns out, there’s a lot more to the story than “prepping”.
