How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp mockumentary that skewers political cynicism and media complicity through the rise of a charismatic, dangerous demagogue. It's darkly funny until it stops being funny, leaving a residue of dread.
