Abstract:

From climate change denial to flat earthers and anti-vaxers, we looked at how misinformation spreads, the role social media plays in that proliferation of lies and why humans are wired to get a buzz from it.

The documentary covers Trump and the velocity of lies he told. It explores the power of personality and authenticity over truth and facts.

Finally, it asks the question, should we be balancing fact with an opinion or are they mutually exclusive?
