Propaganda in the Internet Age
summary
Film claims propaganda now emerges from the overlaying infrastructure of the cloud and platforms rather than only from states, and supports that with edited documentary footage—Russian‑language clips, a Wikileaks‑tweeted YouTube video about MH17, social‑media artifacts, and design identities—assembled into an immersive video installation. It argues platforms prioritize emotional content and enable a redistribution of production value, using cinematic tools and branding to create competing realities rather than proving a single truth.
