Corruption is often defined as misuse of a position of power for personal gain. And while corruption in politics is nothing new, it isn't limited to the political sphere; it can happen in schools, sports, businesses, or religious institutions. So, what exactly is corruption, and what can we do to combat it? Stephanie Honchell Smith explores the importance of transparency in building public trust. \[Directed by Jeff Le Bars, JetPropulsion.space, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio\].
