Conspiracy
Whether it's the Kennedy assassination, Pizzagate or the Corona virus - conspiracy theories are booming, thanks in part to the Internet. But they are not a modern phenomenon. People have been seduced by conspiracy theories for centuries. They offer simple answers to complex questions: a world without chaos, without coincidences, in which everything is planned, and everything can be controlled.
John A. Kantara's film shows the power of conspiracy theories from the Middle Ages to the present. For a long time, conspiracy theories served to maintain the power of the mighty and to suppress minorities. This changes with the advent of mass media. Conspiracy theories are now used to criticize and attack existing power structures. Then as now, the belief in conspiracy theories often leads to violence.
