Uncharted: Access denied

BBC World Service - Discovery, Uncharted: Access denied

What happens when a system designed to help people harms them instead?

What happens when a system designed to help people harms them instead? And, a PhD student discovers an anomaly which undermines a global movement.

Hannah Fry explores two tales of data and discovery.

A young researcher gains access to a secretive data set and discovers a system causing harm to the very people it is supposed to help. 

One day a student makes a discovery which, if true, could shake the intellectual foundations of a global movement, and undermine politicians around the world.

Producer: Lauren Armstrong Carter
