HyperNormalisation

This documentary examines the rise of a post-truth era, arguing that since the 1970s, political and financial leaders have replaced the complexities of reality with a simplified, artificial version of the world. This fake environment is managed by corporations and supported by politicians, leading to a state where those in power and the general public acknowledge the deception but remain passive. The film explores how this process contributes to modern instability and the inability of people to comprehend chaotic global events, such as the Syrian war, the migration crisis, and Brexit.

The production features a credited cast of 45 people.
