The death of democracy through the free election of Victor Orban in Hungary. The film follows three women who are working to expose the lies and corruption as the well financed right tries to shut them down
With obivious parallels to Trump and his cronies and hangers on this film is warning that is happening here. We watch the changes that come in Hungary as Orban uses the political process to change the laws so that freedoms are shut out. It is something that the current American Administration is doing in their own way. Its a chilling thing to see.
Apologies because of the political situation in America this is a hard film to be objective about. The fact that something similar to Orban's rise is playing out in America makes this a hard thing to watch. When this film was shot the parallels were not as glaring. There was still a chance that the American people would steer away from the brink. But because we are in a burning clown car on fire racing off a cliff watching the film is scary, not because it effects me directly but because I can see where America is going.
Apologies if this is more a rant then a review but real life makes it hard to be objective.
This is a recommended film, which maybe tough to watch if you are in America and paying attention.
