Documentary — Trumping Democracy: Real Money. Fake News. Your Data.

This is another documentary exposing the truth behind the words of Noam Chomsky and how it is that Americans are a "massively propagandized people." May this and other sources illuminating how disinformation has infected our country and ourselves push us to embrace what Chris Hedges refers to as a "profound commitment to truth." This is an imperative if we are to dismantle that which is at the root of so much suffering and death and in its place birth a just, sane, caring, and peaceful world. — Molly

This explosive documentary follows the money to the elusive multi-billionaire Robert Mercer who bought Breitbart News and funded the effort, while inserting Steve Bannon into the presidential campaign as its manager. Using data of millions of Americans acquired from Facebook, Google, banks, credit companies, social security and more, another Mercer company, Cambridge Analytica, used tactics honed during the UK's Brexit campaign to identify voters deemed "most neurotic or worried," whom they believed could swing for Trump. In the days before the election, using a little-known Facebook feature, "dark posts", they deployed highly manipulative and personalized messages, which could be seen only by the user before disappearing. In the darkness of the web, democracy was trumped by data.
