Can’t Get You Out of My Head was crafted from a massive archive of music and video footage. It begins with the cultural revolutions of the 1960s and continues through Donald Trump’s fraught presidency and Britain’s Brexit crisis. In addition to the fast-paced visuals, Curtis provides a personal, emotional element by incorporating the stories of an eclectic range of people, from a 1970s Civil Rights leader to the wife of Mao Zedong.

Curtis decries the connections necessary to concoct conspiracy theories while simultaneously constructing them himself. Likewise, his series shows the ever-changing nature of politics juxtaposed with its lasting effect on history. Can’t Get You Out of My Head traces the roots of such events and proposes what can be expected in the future.

With a steadfast belief in the Second Coming of Christ, evangelical political powers have become heavily involved in shaping American foreign policy towards Israel and the Middle East. The film delves into the relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the controversial decision to move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem and plans to annex the West Bank.

Evangelical Christians cite these events as a necessary step toward the coming apocalypse because they believe that the Jewish people’s establishment in the Holy Land is essential to God’s plan for the End-Times. The film takes a deep-dive into the unusual bond between these bedfellows and the entanglement of politics and religion.

Directed by Andrew Rossi, the documentary interviews both victims and purveyors of fake news, as well as journalists and experts who help contextualise its impact. It demonstrates that although false stories are not a new phenomenon, the high usage of modern technology allows for them to be widely disseminated online and creates a breeding ground for misunderstanding. The film deconstructs the fake news process by explaining how it exploits distrust and fear to aid its proliferation, and looks at several past events that can be traced back to disinformation and untruthful claims posted on social media.

The documentary unravels the many mysteries of George Soros by first considering the man himself. Born in Hungary and surviving Nazi occupation, the now billionaire investor works towards growing Open Society Foundations, Soros’s philanthropic organisation geared towards social reform. It is in the exploration of his progressive and left-leaning ideas and politics that bring on the controversies concerning George Soros.

With utopian ideals of a free society, the argument of right-wing conservatives about the billionaire’s true intentions is made. With several of the accusers claiming Soros to be modern capitalism’s evil villain, they lay claim that he intends to overthrow governments worldwide with his enormous influence. The accusations are balanced by considering the motives of his accusers, torn between reality and antisemitism.

Following Russia’s alleged collusion with the Trump administration in tampering with the presidential election, Active Measures questions the Trump family’s interests in Russia as well as its lack of transparency.

Exploring the Trump family’s financial gains from their Russian ties and their shared interest in political warfare, the documentary’s implications are devastatingly dark.
