COVID 1984

Satirical short film inspired by the flood of conspiracy theory documentaries that quickly emerged online in relation to the topics of coronavirus and 5G.

The creators say: "Covid 1984 announces itself as satire before a single line of dialogue is uttered. At no point does it claim to be fact, nor attempt to discredit the WHO or standard medical response to COVID-19. This film was previously removed from YouTube after being flagged, we suspect, by a group of alt-right conspiracy theorists emanating from a forum that will not be named. We were however, confident in the appeals process and wrote to YouTube explaining that COVID 1984 is clearly satirical in nature."
