Episode 3: Romania: The fight against the fight against corruption - with Kit Gillet
Since the fall of communism in 1989, Romania has been working hard to tackle corruption and has been widely praised for its efforts. But almost 3 decades on, it remains one of the most corrupt countries in Europe, and its people are sick of it.

We spoke to Kit Gillet, a journalist who reports from Bucharest for the New York Times.
