Synopsis

This powerful investigative documentary examines how disinformation and propaganda have become central weapons in the Israel-Gaza conflict. In tandem with Warren Kinsella’s bestselling book The Hidden Hand, the film exposes the global spread of coordinated digital warfare. Through expert interviews and on-the-ground reporting, Kinsella reveals how algorithms, bot networks, and fake accounts manipulate public perception. The investigation traces Hamas’ evolution into a governing authority utilizing a highly sophisticated international messaging strategy amplified by state actors. Ultimately, the film uncovers a dark reality: how these orchestrated influence campaigns are actively fueling global antisemitism, online radicalization, and hostility toward Jewish people worldwide.
