2019· 59 min★ 5.6·

Presidents Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán and Recep Tayyip Erdogan agree: US multi-billionaire George Soros is the number one public enemy because he is allegedly planning a new world order. All media of the extreme right are in the same vein: Allegedly, Soros is in the process of destabilizing the USA, Hungary or the whole world, flooding them with migrants and eliminating Trump. The right-wing populist criticism of Soros' philanthropic and political engagement, especially in Eastern Europe, has clear anti-Semitic features and is characterized by hatred of Jews that should give food for thought. Activists and ordinary US citizens are associated with Soros and covered with smear campaigns. The crudest and most daring conspiracy theories are in circulation. Some people who are brainwashed as a result take action with serious consequences. But these dangerous conspiracy theories stand up to a fact check. This factual current affairs documentary investigates the question and finds answers.
