We filmed four dozen original interviews while making The Facebook Dilemma. Our reporting team conducted in-depth interviews with current and former Facebook executives, internet activists, government and intelligence officials in the United States and around the world, the digital chief of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and leading journalists and scholars.

Explore many of these interviews — and see how we used them in the film — in this interactive version of The Facebook Dilemma, part of FRONTLINE’s Transparency Project.
