An event to make sense of a world where mistruths and conspiracy theories run riot.

With the seismic events of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, reality seems to have been turned on its axis. £350 million a week for the NHS, Pizzagate, Making America Great Again, building the wall, Brexit, taking our country back, fake news…the world in 2017 is a place where cold, hard facts have less importance than ever before. This year East End Film Festival will be joined for a special in-conversation event with James Ball (Wikileaks, The Guardian, BuzzFeed) about his new book Post-Truth: How Bullshit Conquered The World, followed by the World Premiere of Dearborn, a new film from Guardian Documentaries about the American town that finds itself at the centre of the new political climate.
