    Frightening - but a must watch.

    This documentary traces out acts the Russians have taken over the years to undermine democracy and how much of it directly ties to Trump. It's well done, paced nicely. Worth the watch for sure.

    Great and important movie

    I've known bits and pieces of the Russia / brexit / trump story, but never been able to connect all the dots. They took a very complicated story and told it in a clear and meaningful way. Well researched and th interviews were amazing. Everyone should watch!

    Awesome movie

    Did a great job of compelling story telling. Made this complicated and confusing last two years all make sense.

    Only if you wish to know...

    As someone who spent 94/95 in Russia, and who has followed developments since, this movie accurately describes the mindset of Putin, the collaboration of Trump, and 'active measures' undertaken by the Russians to undermine Western democracies especially using social media. You should watch this!
