Russia Today which I've watched on occasion is one of many news organizations influenced by Putin to promote Russian nationalism (a more intense version of Fox). Objective reality is out; promoting the values of a love of Russia (analogous to a love of U.S. by our own) is the new media standard. As other docs have discussed, members of Trump's family & business interests have discussed future investments (resorts, casinos, hotels) in Russia. Russia in turn sees Trump as more favorable than Clinton, and ended up broadcasting that Clinton was physically & mentally fragile as well as being a hostile threat to Russian security. They even, which I find a bit hard to believe, suggested that many deaths both of her advisors & her opponents were orchestrated by her. Hmmmm? Criticism: Would have liked a bit more independent verification from other sources especially w/so many brief extracted/cut scenes.

My eyes have been opened, I have seen a slice of life that holds enormous political sway over the world. Saw this film twice and I know that the average American has no idea that the Russian Media operates in such a manner. From the actual manufacturing of news to the constant manipulations in service of the Kremlin, this is a revelatory film. And it is smart, snappy, and compelling. A must see for anyone concerned about the future of the world.

Waited....and waited for something in English...something about Donald Trump that wasn't an outdated view from a Russian nobody's perspective. I have never seen a worse documentary than this one!
