Backlight - Season 25 Episode 13 Does satire still have a future
Democracy is under pressure and in the post-truth era, truth has given way to spectacle. How can we, now that reality seems more absurd than ever, best question power? Does this increasingly absurd reality call for a different way of resisting? We follow an action by The Yes Men, American art collective that uses identity theft to question politics. And a meeting with the German art collective Das Zentrum für Politische Schönheit that draws attention to the rise of AfD, and how.
