SYNOPSIS

65,000 tweets. 214 million followers. Hundreds of millions of likes. What does Elon Musk’s X profile reveal? How did the world’s richest man evolve over 15 years of tweets to become the leading global influencer? Once not the figure we know today, Musk has become Donald Trump’s best ally, a powerful voice for conspiracy theorists, and a major source of misinformation. He has changed alongside the platform he now owns—and with him, a part of the world has followed. His account also mirrors the network’s shift : once the go-to space for political discourse, now increasingly abandoned by key voices and media. Today, Musk can shake up global news with a few words—just by hitting “publish” on X.

SYNOPSIS

False claims that French public schools teach masturbation, fellatio, or promote pedophilia have been spreading widely, fueled by religious and political radicals. Despite the Ministry of Education’s focus on “learning about sexuality” rooted in values of equality and respect, misinformation has sparked panic, especially among parents. These rumors, pushed by extremist religious groups, conspiracy theorists like QAnon, and influencers, have led to tension in schools, with some incidents turning violent. Teachers now face a hostile environment, forcing many to censor themselves or avoid teaching certain subjects altogether.

SYNOPSIS

The 9/11 attacks were allegedly prepared by American secret services, and Marshal Pétain is claimed to have protected French Jews during World War II. These historical rewritings might seem far-fetched, but they generate significant violence, particularly in extreme right-wing circles. Each historical untruth often serves a political or economic agenda, feeding on public doubts. This film traces and analyzes 20 years of rising historical conspiracy since 9/11. How has mistrust of politicians, the media, and educators become so widespread? By challenging centuries of shared history, isn’t this rewriting of history jeopardizing our common foundation of truth, the cornerstone of our democracy?

SYNOPSIS

The Americans have never been to the Moon, NASA is lying, aliens are controlling us… Space conspiracy has never gone as far as it does today. According to IFOP, 15% of 16-24 year-olds think the Earth is flat. Once on the fringes, these theories are now on a large scale, particularly on social networks. On Tik Tok, videos that question the foundations of science are gaining millions of views, propelled by algorithms and the absence of moderation on this subject. In this film, we’ll try to understand the evolution of this phenomenon by interviewing those who have gone over the edge and come back, or not. For the first time, we show that science itself is concerned about the rise of conspiracy in this field.

SYNOPSIS

Climate change caused by human action is a certainty. Yet, despite this scientific fact, it is still common to hear people relativizing it or looking for others to blame. According to one study, by 2023, 1 in 4 French people will be climate sceptics or deniers. Whether conspiracy theorists, scientists or lobbyists, doubt merchants are working all over the world to divert attention. Denialists spread a multitude of preconceived ideas about the climate. How have they managed, by dint of manipulation, to take public opinion by storm and undermine the credibility of scientists, thereby threatening to save the planet?

SYNOPSIS

TikTok, young people’s favorite app, now has almost 1.6 billion users worldwide, and almost one in three of them in France. For many, it’s a simple streaming video feed, with dances, animals, songs and star influencers with millions of subscribers. But, above all, it’s the global success of China, owned by Byte Dance. A technological revolution whose content management system remains opaque, even to its moderators. An increasingly powerful platform, accused like other social networks of collecting our personal data. With one difference: it is suspected of passing this data on to the Chinese regime and influencing public opinion worldwide.
