Our world is strange, and often fake and corrupt, but how did we get here? We live in a time of great uncertainty and confusion, marked by events that seem inexplicable and out of control. Donald Trump, Brexit, the War in Syria, the endless migrant crisis, and random bomb attacks. And those who are supposed to be in power are paralysed - they have no idea what to do. This film is the epic story of how we got to this strange place. It explains not only why these chaotic events are happening, but also why we, and our politicians, cannot understand them. It shows that what has happened is that all of us in the West - not just the politicians and the journalists and the experts, but we ourselves - have retreated into a simplified, and often completely fake version of the world. But because it is all around us, we accept it as usual. But there is another world outside. Forces that politicians tried to forget and bury forty years ago - that then festered and mutated - but which are now turning on us with a vengeful fury and piercing through the wall of our fake world.
