Composed entirely of found online footage, Maxim Pozdorovkin’s jaw-dropping fever-dream of a documentary tracks the 2016 US election through the lens of the Russian propaganda machine.
Using user-generated YouTube content and Russian TV clips broadcast during Trump’s presidential campaign, Pozdorovkin’s timely evocation of fake news is in turns hilarious, shocking and deeply sobering.
