THE CONSPIRACISTS + LIVE Q&A
Three women set off on a road trip across America. One of them is a MAGA supporter and conspiracy theorist. She has just been sentenced to 30 months in prison for her role in the storming of The US Capitol. They meet other “patriots” along the way and as the journey unfolds she leads her travel companions deeper into her labyrinth of conspiracy, determined to open their eyes to what she sees as the real truth. By the trip’s end will she have converted them to her “5D world”? THE CONSPIRACISTS is an intimate and empathetic portrait of women drawn into the world of conspiracy. The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with director Liz Smith and featured participant and associate producer Noelle Cook. <i>Liz Smith is an award winning British documentary filmmaker. Her work is centred around human rights. The films she makes at Page75 Productions are the outcome of years of study on the issues driving the rise of populism and the erosion of our democratic rights. However, researching the issues can only go so far. Her approach of spending time with affected communities on the frontline delivers a much deeper understanding of the forces driving these trends Her recent feature documentaries include I Am Gen Z and The Line We Crossed. Noelle Cook is an ethnographer and researcher examining how identity, belief, and belonging shape women’s participation in conspiratorial and right-wing movements. She is the author of The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging.</i>ComedyPT1H36M152026-04-26Noelle Cook
