Netflix’s new series Zero Day poses the question: how do we find truth in a world of crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control?

The series centres on a former US president tasked with finding the culprits behind a devastating cyber attack that has cost thousands of lives. The nature of truth, misinformation and disinformation are key talking points in the show - and the importance of truth in our lives certainly isn’t lost on its star Lizzy Caplan.
