David vs. Goliath

One person against something much larger, usually with the law on the wrong side. Snowden in a Hong Kong hotel room with the cameras running, Navalny identifying the men who poisoned him by ringing them up, an Irish man taking on the state over a road through his farm, and a Japanese reporter who had to become her own story to get it heard.
