«In war, truth is the first casualty.»
— Aeschylus, Ancient Greek playwright, VI–V Century BC

Everyone in war, at critical moments, uses the strongest weapons they have. The West may be behind in hypersonic weapons technology and industrial weapons production, but that's why it has incredibly well-developed propaganda weapons and a wide global network from which to launch propaganda missiles. Please do not think that PR weapons are less lethal than physical ones. This is exactly what this excellent documentary is about.

More than 150 PR agencies from the U.S. and Europe are shaping Ukraine’s media image. This campaign began back in 2014 during the Maidan uprising. After the new government took power, the U.S. established propaganda networks, feeding deliberately false information to Western media. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry became a puppet of the CIA. This strategy was first refined in Iraq, where the U.S. used the full force of modern PR technology during the conflict.

What was really behind the so-called «Bucha massacre»? How do the CIA and NSA control Western social media platforms? How many journalists have been killed for resisting Kiev’s propaganda? And who will win the bloodiest information war in history?
