Disinformed Film Screening and Panel Discussion

This event will feature a screening of the film followed by a panel discussion with Marianna Spring (Moderator), Damian Collins MP, Ian Lucas, Kyle Taylor, and Katharina Viken.

Dis/Informed is a deep-dive into conspiracy mentality and why we are so vulnerable to disinformation. We all like to assume that conspiracy is rare, and that those who believe it are stupid, or uneducated.

The directors, Katharina Viken and Dr Charles Kriel debunk this persistent myth, and look at the real psychological reasons behind believing disinformation. The film explores why conspiracy spills over into violence, how the pandemic has affected our flow of information, and in particular how women’s online spaces are radicalised.
