Port: A deep dive into how the sausage gets made in North Dakota
A new podcast is pulling back the curtain on how $740,000 in North Dakota film grants were awarded — and the picture isn’t pretty. The $740,000 Question, produced by filmmaker-turned-whistleblower Matt Fern, uses records, emails, and legislative audio to show how a process meant to be fair sometimes wasn’t. Beyond the grants, it’s a case study in how transparency tools, like livestreamed hearings and open records laws, can hold power to account — if we’re willing to watch and listen. Rob Port with InForum has the full story.
