Believable: The Coco Berthmann Story

Coco Berthmann became internet-famous by sharing her story of surviving sex trafficking as a young child growing up in Germany.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sara Ganim and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning showrunner Karen Given investigate in Dear Media’s first true crime podcast.
