Democracy Noir

Amidst 21st-century authoritarianism, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stands out as exceptionally corrupt and skilled at eroding democracy. He enjoys popularity among Christian conservatives and is admired by right-wing movements in Europe, Donald Trump, and Republicans. Orbán meticulously undermines Hungarian democratic institutions while retaining public support. "Democracy Noir" follows three brave women - Timea, Babett, and Niko - who tirelessly expose Orbán's government's lies and corruption. They confront a well-funded opposition in Orbán's Fidesz party, which has altered democratic laws to consolidate power. As Orbán moves towards autocracy, these women, representing many in Hungary, innovate ways to challenge one of the West’s most powerful demagogues.
