When it All Went Wrong

by CBC

Investigations about the people who get hurt when the systems meant to protect us fail, hard. Not by accident, not from poor planning, but because someone chose to do wrong — and others chose to do nothing. With chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault as the guide, CBC’s best journalists go deep over multiple episodes to reveal the fault lines in institutions we’ve come to trust and the fates of people caught in the middle. Our latest investigation, The Missing Boys, follows two teens who disappear after being lured by gangs to traffic drugs far from home. Hosted by Mark Kelley, this four-episode story is a co-production with CBC’s the fifth estate. Episodes start October 22, 2026.
