Ironically, most of the title is misleading

Putting too much 'message' in a documentary can be a dangerous thing, but after watching this I've learned that the opposite may be even worse.

Given that the phrase 'post-truth' is part of the title, I expected this phenomenon to at least be addressed at some level in this doc. Unfortunately, it is not - it isn't even mentioned once. Instead, we are treated to a fairly disjointed collection of heads talking about some aspects of the Bellingcat investigative platform and some of their investigations without ever getting the full picture. There are some interesting snippets of information, but no apparent point or conclusion. In the end, this feels more like a project a film student might have shot for a local TV station; mildly diverting but not particularly insightful.

If you'd like to learn more about 'truth' and information in the modern media landscape, 'The Social Dilemma' (2020) has much more to say.

Absolute Garbage

Bellingcat is a garbage propaganda organization designed to disseminate false information on behalf of the US imperialist government. In the NYT news article, they describe the skills of the chief editor as being derived form "playing video games." I am actually not joking. The only people that would find this "documentary" entertaining are the most poorly informed and unintelligent among us. Skip this garbage and watch a real documentary instead, like recent Exterminate All The Brutes series.

Manufacturing consent for U.S. imperialism

Bellingcat is an organization funded by the U.S. state department to manufacture consent for the American imperialism of endless wars and regime change interventions. The Grayzone has done excellent investigative journalism on Bellingcat's function as a propaganda outlet for the Pentagon.
