DEMOCRACY NOIR

Connie Field / 2024 / 90' / United States, Germany & Denmark

‘Democracy Noir,’ directed by Oscar-nominated Connie Field, exposes the grim reality of Hungary's democratic decline under Viktor Orbán. The film follows three brave women—opposition politician Timea, investigative journalist Babett, and nurse Nikoletta—as they confront Orbán's Fidesz party, which has systematically dismantled democratic institutions and entrenched one-party rule. Their fight against this powerful, ultra-conservative machine reveals the dangerous effects of unchecked power, offering a stark warning about the global rise of autocratic leaders and the far-right’s threat to democratic norms on a global scale.
