Manufacturing Chaos dives into the global disinformation machine, tracing how false narratives born in conflict zones spread through Brexit, the rise of Donald Trump, and exploded during the Covid-19 pandemic. It reveals how memes, lies, and manipulation fuel social division, fracture democracy, and create parallel realities within the same communities. Experts warn this coordinated chaos—driven by extremists, powerful elites, and authoritarian states—poses an existential threat to democratic societies. As the world moves toward an increasingly virtual future, the film asks whether a new generation of digitally savvy citizens can break the cycle before trust and cohesion collapse entirely.
