Summary
The Global Career of a Lie
The documentary examines the origins, spread, and enduring impact of one of the most persistent propaganda myths of the 20th century: the so-called "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." This antisemitic text, which first appeared in early 20th-century Russia, has since been used worldwide to promote conspiracy theories. Director Felix Möller examines how the pamphlet has been exploited over decades by authoritarian regimes, extremist networks, and popular culture - from the Nazi era to the present day. The film also addresses contemporary discussions on social media and highlights prominent figures who perpetuate antisemitic stereotypes, including Elon Musk, Kanye West, Kollegah, and developers of video games like Hogwarts Legacy. Featuring insights from international experts in academia, journalism, and activism - such as Rudy Reichstadt (Conspiracy Watch), Monika Schwarz-Friesel (TU Berlin), Jakob Baier (University of Bielefeld), and Hanna Veiler - the documentary reveals how deeply entrenched and influential this piece of propaganda remains today.
