About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a timely, issue-driven documentary about how misinformation spreads and harms real people, similar in spirit to Ivory Tower; Not for you if you want a neutral tone or light, escapist viewing.
Pros: timely and alarming; clear real-world examples; sparks critical thinking | Cons: feels politically slanted; heavy and upsetting; limited solutions offered
