From the filmmakers of the critically-acclaimed blockbuster #UNFIT: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DONALD TRUMP, which has been viewed by millions, and was nominated for the IDA Documentary Awards Video Source Award Director,  Writer and Producer Dan Partland and Producer Art Horan’s latest documentary #UNTRUTH: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DONALD TRUMP, is a searing indictment of the former president. The story is told by political conservatives, psychologists, and historians sharing an eye-opening analysis of how false narratives, online virality, and profit-driven news media lead to anger, conspiracism, and political violence. People from across the political spectrum lay bare the troubling implications of Trumpism for a free and open society. The subject experts include; Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Ph.D., Malcolm Nance, Peter Strzok, Joe Walsh, Anne Nelson, Imran Ahmed and Brittany Friedman, Ph.D. #UNTRUTH: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DONALD TRUMP, reveals how politicians in pursuit of power, foreign state actors, and international oligarchs are exploiting disinformation to promote an authoritarian future that threatens the very survival of American Democracy and democracies around the world. Director Dan Partland joins us for a conversation about how recent American  political / presidential norms have been perverted since Trump came down the escalator, what Trumpism says about our latent authoritarian tendencies and how Trump’s most fanatical followers are likely to attempt to manipulate the last six weeks of this monumentally important Presidential campaign.
