United States: The Authoritarian Turn
Recent actions by the Trump administration point to a deepening authoritarian drift. From the intervention in Venezuela to mass deportations and troop deployments in Democratic-led cities, institutions and fundamental rights are under strain. At the same time, a fierce culture war rooted in white nationalist and religious rhetoric is gaining ground – an agenda now echoed by populist and far-right movements in Europe.

The Librarians
In the United States, thousands of books are being removed from schools and public libraries. Driven by conservative groups, this offensive targets LGBTQIA+ narratives and works addressing racial issues. By following librarians targeted by threats, lawsuits and the criminalisation of their profession, the film exposes a nationwide strategy to control ideas and pays tribute to those fighting to defend what remains of democracy in their country.
