Watch Trailer For Disinformation Doc How To Build A Truth Engine

Next month at the Leeds Film Festival, Friedrich Moser’s documentary How To Build A Truth Engine has released its official Trailer.

This is executive produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, the film made its world premiere earlier this year at SXSW with a European Premiere this week in Vienna.

Disinformation has been part of the propaganda machine of many governments, political groups and conspiracy theorists since the start of time. Recent times have made it even harder for society to decipher what is fact and what is not. Clooney himself calls the film “There’s Never Been a More Important Time to Talk About Disinformation”

Moser has also commented “I think this film could not be more timely ahead of the US elections, with disinformation and deep-fakes continuing to flood social media and our societies. As one of my protagonists says in the film, if we lose a grip on the truth, we lose our civilisation. Losing that grip is closer than what most people think.”

Disinformation and conspiracy theories have reached a level unwitnessed since the turmoil of the 1930s. Feature documentary, HOW TO BUILD A TRUTH ENGINE, portrays a crack team of investigators from the fields of technology, journalism, folklore and neuroscience who show that if you hack the information feed, you can hack somebody’s mind. Following their personal journeys they take us from the information battlefields into the inner workings of the human brain and show how – through us – a web of lies can change reality.

How To Build A Truth Engine will have its UK premiere at Leeds International Film Festival on 4th November.
