The Land in Between

Global Reporting Centre

One country faces a tug-of-war between Putin’s Russia and the European Union. Host Victor Swezey takes listeners into the tear gas-filled streets of Tbilisi, Georgia, polling stations during a rigged election, and the manicured gardens of a billionaire oligarch. This is The Land in Between — a five-part podcast about a critical moment in Georgia’s history and what it tells us about the future of our world order.

The Land In Between is produced by the Global Reporting Centre (GRC). The GRC is an editorially independent journalism organization based at the University of British Columbia. We are leaders in doing global journalism differently. We innovate industry practice, educate the next generation, and promote greater equity in journalism.
