Description

Former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim managed to cover up his dark secrets and Nazi past to win the Austrian presidency in 1986. One of the activists who protested his controversial election, filmmaker Ruth Beckermann, revisits this turning point in European history, revealing how Waldheim not only evaded accusations, but capitalized on them to spread anti-Semitism and nationalist propaganda. It’s not difficult to draw parallels to our current political climate, and this incisive documentary sheds a light on how truth, lies and alternative facts broke new ground to bring a dishonest man to power.

In German, English and French with English subtitles
