The Bad Patriots

United Kingdom 2024 Documentary cor 71 min.

Anti-British, spineless, out-of-touch, terrorist sympathizers, communists, and a threat to national security. These were some of the unpleasant titles that the mainstream media attributed to filmmaker Ken Loach and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Now, they step forward to debunk some old myths and change this narrative. The documentary tackles media bias, defamation, and censorship, exposing the dirty machinations of the British establishment and media, showing how they weaponize old fears and prejudices to degrade individuals, their ideas, and the projects they represent. But these tactics are not confined to the United Kingdom: the film draws parallels with other parts of the world, including the United States, Brazil, and other European countries.
