Documentary

This documentary argues that modern life has drifted into a “post-truth” state where leaders and institutions shape reality through deception, and many people accept it as normal. It traces how politics, power, media, and the internet helped create a confusing world where distrust grows but meaningful change feels out of reach.

Also known as HyperNormalization
