We've spent the last three months investigating what's really been happening behind-the-scenes with Disco Elysium.

We've been to Estonia, interviewed both sides of the dispute and discovered so much more nuance than you'll have heard up until now.

Link below!

Our two and a half hour(!) documentary begins in Tallinn, as we attend one of the court hearings in-person and get a sense for where this legal battle stands as of today.

WATCH HERE:

We'll get you up to speed with all the accusations that have been made so far and then dig into the ownership of ZA/UM for ourselves, with the help of some absolutely beautiful visuals from @anni_sayers.

And then it's time to confront ZA/UM's CEO, Ilmar Kompus, head-on.

This is the man who stands accused of having stolen the company out from underneath the other shareholders, including those who first dreamed of Disco Elysium all those years ago.

But there's much, much more to this story than just the shareholder dispute, it turns out.

We've also spoken to a range of ZA/UM employees who feel their perspectives have been ignored or dismissed so far. And what they have to say, I suspect, may surprise you.

Finally, we've spoken to those who were fired from ZA/UM and who believe they've had their life's work ripped away from them in Disco Elysium.

However, by this point in our reporting, we have some challenging questions for them as well. It's complicated.

This is one of the most difficult stories we've ever worked on and has required an enormous effort from the entire PMG team.

We hope you think we've done it justice.
