The weapon and the terror of modern extremists is the media. When Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in January 2021, they didn't forget to stream their rampage. Filmmaker Javier Horcajada has turned their footage and network posts into a collage of voices and text that is as frenetic as the mindless scrolling that blends facts and fiction into a single stream. This symphony of misinformation is interspersed with snippets of propaganda films from the Dwight D. Eisenhower era, explaining the same concepts that the attackers use - justice, law, democracy. An alarming message about how easy it is in the online age to change the meaning of words and control the crowd, this is the second installment in the director's trilogy about America today.
