Democracy Noir: Q&AAmidst the brazen rise of 21st century authoritarianism, few politicians have proven as adept at undermining democracy as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán - a hero to his country’s Christian conservative population and a role model to right-wing political movements worldwide.
Since his rise to power in 2010, Orbán’s Hungary has become a blueprint for far-right rule in Europe, as his government unabashedly chips away at Hungary’s democratic institutions.
This chilling and timely documentary follows three courageous women from different spheres of Hungarian life as they fight to expose corruption, lies and the step-by-step destruction of democracy in their country.
The screening on Tuesday the 18th of June was followed by an in-person Q&A with director Connie Field and editor Gregory Scharpen. Hosted by journalist Lili Rutai.
