A Verdade da Mentira

"Though it's a practice almost as old as the emergence of documented information and widely disseminated, fake news gained prominence in the 2010s with elections completely based on the subject and, often, directly influenced by false and unreal information. Thus, the documentary short film 'The Truth of the Lie' seeks to analyze this movement and the impact of fake news in Brazil. To do this, journalist Petria Chaves spoke with colleagues, founders of fact-checking agencies, digital marketing experts, academics and researchers from the digital and human behavior environment to dive into this dark and dangerous universe of news and false information."
