Description:
From cave paintings to modern social media, propaganda has constantly evolved while remaining powerfully effective. Director Larry Weinstein examines how religious leaders, politicians, and advertisers have used it successfully. The film explores the techniques behind propaganda and asks important questions: How can we discern truth when constantly exposed to it? What dangers does a society face when its perceptions are manipulated? While freedom of speech is vital for democracy, demagogues have always exploited it to manipulate people. Contemporary artists like Kent Monkman, Shepard Fairey, and Ai Weiwei discuss their politically charged work, using disinformation tactics from their own cultures. As new ways to share information emerge online, harmful lies are now more easily concealed than ever before.
