After his conviction for spreading false news with his pamphlet Did Six Million Really Die?, Ernst Zundel is granted an appeal and the chance to go to court a second time. His witnesses include a rogue researcher who chisels rocks from the walls of Auschwitz to prove it wasn’t a gas chamber and other self-proclaimed experts. And every day in court, Holocaust survivors are there to bear witness. In the end, Zundel is convicted again, but this time he has a new legal tool to use in his appeal — the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Host Falen Johnson and journalist Howard Goldenthal dive into the legal battles that led R. vs. Zundel all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, and how the court's decision to strike down Canada’s “false news” law set in motion a debate about free speech that continues today. This episode is part two of two. »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: https://www.cbc.ca
