"Operation Infektion," by the New York Times, is an enthralling history of fake news, or what the KGB used to call, "active measures." With testimony from former Russian spies and US officials, the film deconstructs some of the most successful "fake news" operations of recent times, from the 1980s lie that Aids was created by the CIA, to the so called pizzagate conspiracy during the last Presidential election. This is disinformation warfare laid bare.
