A journalist from the Czech Republic is trying to prove that quality journalism still exists in a world where people can no longer distinguish between real information and disinformation.
About the film
Ivana Svobodová works for the publication <em>Respekt</em>. She is an experienced political reporter, dedicated to her profession, and has received awards in journalism. Based on her fieldwork, the film captures an aggressive, divided, corrupt, and radicalized society. What, then, is the role of the media in a world where everything happens on social networks and it is so easy to manipulate readers living in separate “bubbles”? This portrait film turns into a necessary lesson in journalism, because Ivana never gives up and tells the truth to the very end.
