A captivating political-journalistic thriller on mass manipulation in the age of big data.
While a scandal splashes the President of the United States and agitates the editorial staff of New York Investigation, the journalist Julia Robinson sees her life waver when she believes she recognizes on the defendants' bench her companion who died four years earlier. In order to elucidate this mystery, she and her team will be confronted with a mass manipulation program of unprecedented scale. Together, they will have to put aside their differences to be able to bring to light the biggest scandal since the Watergate affair. Democracy is in peril. Their lives too.
Led at a brisk pace, this incredible and beautifully documented story (Cambridge Analytica which favored the election of Donald Trump, is not far) explores the dangers of big data that gangrene our democracies.
Après Paris, Saint-Josse! The author and director Mélody Mourey comes to Brussels and recreates this success with six Belgian artists, who share about twenty characters. Incisive writing, precise construction, a show open to all generations, conducive to all discussions on the march of the world. A hell of a season finale!
