In 2020 the USA experienced a multiple catastrophe: No other country in the world was so badly affected by the corona virus pandemic, the economic slump was dramatic, the rise in unemployment it was also, a rift was running through society. On the streets there were protests of both camps with violent riots, authoritarian-fascist traits were evident in the actions of the leader of the nation. And all in the middle of the election year, in which the narcissistic president was vehemently fighting for his re-election. From the start of his presidency, Donald Trump had divided American society, he had incited individual sections of the population against one another, stired up racism, hatred, xenophobia and prejudice, insulted competitors and affronted critical journalists as enemies of the people. The documentary shows how this could happen and what role the targeted disinformation of certain parts of the population through manipulative media plays.
