HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DOCUMENTARY — AFTER TRUTH: DISINFORMATION AND THE COST OF FAKE NEWS

My husband and I recently watched this documentary. EXCELLENT! Chilling! Highly recommended! In the midst of epidemics of disinformation, it’s my belief that there is an imperative to inform ourselves, to discern which resources are to be trusted and which aren’t, and to share what we are learning and stand up strongly for truth. Please consider watching and sharing this important film. Thank you. 🙏🏼 Molly
