America 2019 is a nation adrift in half-truths and cover-ups. From his tinfoil room, singer Tris McCall interrupts your regularly scheduled broadcast to explore the dark alleys of American paranoia, from the ludicrous to the all too real. Unspooling a knotted thread of archival footage, McCall takes viewers through the history of conspiracy theories from vaccines to the moon landing to the Kennedy assassination and beyond. It all seems ridiculous, but has the flood of delusions in the public sphere allowed real conspiracies to take place right in front of our eyes? As the video fast forwards to WMDs, Election 2016, and our increasingly uncertain future, it's not so funny anymore. As McCall sings, "It's all connected...unless it is not." Directed by George Andrew Pasles.
