Kevin Bowe | 2017 | USA | 75'

What starts out as a fun story about a citizen who embeds himself with the media covering the 2016 presidential campaigns, turns into an eye-opening journey; where shiny objects hypnotize, truthiness empowers and paranoia runs rampant. Ultimately, the film examines the junction between media, politics and technology in the Post-Truth Era. This 40,000 foot story is told from the trenches of press conferences, voter experiences and the campaign trail, with insights from veteran CBS journalist Bob Schieffer, Boston Globe Editor Brian McGrory, Harvard University's Nicco Mele, Larry Lessig and others.

Manifesto Film Festival 2018 brings the art of resistance to Amsterdam, and they will drop by Cavia as well! Last year the festival was known as the Norwich Radical Film Festival and was based in Norwich, England. They showcase cinema that is socially and culturally thought-provoking while concurrently exemplifying either the existing or retrospective zeitgeist. This year they will show more than 200 films of all genres, from all around the world.
