Why: Trustworthy is a revealing documentary exploring digital trust and misinformation. Through nationwide interviews, it examines the impact of fake news and online manipulation. The film highlights the erosion of trust in institutions and the rise of algorithmic influence. From social media echo chambers to conspiracy theories, it navigates the complexities of the digital landscape. The documentary chronicles a 5,300-mile journey across America to explore the growing crisis of trust in media that threatens our democracy, and whether we can find common ground. From small towns and urban enclaves, the Trustworthy team spoke with journalists, experts and everyday Americans across the political spectrum about how we got to this critical moment, how we can become better news and information consumers, and how we can come together to rise above the misinformation and discourse aimed at dividing our communities. This documentary is a must-see for everyone who seeks to better understand our media and help bridge the political divide. Trustworthy. If journalism declines, democracy declines. www.trustworthydoc.com
