How pro-Iran groups use LEGO animations as a propaganda tool

from The World · host PRI’s The World: Latest Edition

AI-generated LEGO videos have become one of the most unexpected propaganda tools in the current Iran war. The clips use humor, memes and video-game-style animation to mock global leaders, while pushing pro-Iran narratives online. Also, residents flee north as Israel strikes Lebanon, including the historic city of Tyre. And, Brazil’s government plans to invest $75 million to pave and improve a highway running through a largely untouched section of the Amazon. Plus, a conversation with Cheikh Ibra Fam, a Senegalese musician who says the choirs he joined while traveling with his family as a child became his classrooms.Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
