Award-winning filmmaker Joe Berlinger sends documentary teams across the country to uncover the real reasons Americans can't agree on what's true and what's not. Inspired by reporting in "The Atlantic" magazine, the series goes inside the lives of "truth-seekers" and influencers facing life-altering consequences for believing that a shadowy cabal of elites is secretly running the world. Cameras capture the shocking real-time stories of an ordinary woman facing 20 years in prison for her role in the January 6 riots, an anti-vaccine activist pushing a dangerous fake cure for COVID-19 and a mother who fears her conspiracy-obsessed husband could hurt their kids.

It's clear that they mean well, See more Read all reviews
