#Conspiracytheories are currently more popular than ever, and often behind them is a worldview like the one we can see in Peter Weir's cult film "The Truman Show": It is assumed that everything is controlled by one person - currently, various conspiracy theorists have settled on #BillGates. They give him a role similar to that of the "Truman Show" director and creator Christof, who has the show, in which Truman (#JimCarrey) is unknowingly the protagonist, completely under his control. But what else does the dystopia have to say to us today? Is this just a media critique of reality TV? As much as we sympathize with Truman, we should recognize that we, who constantly voluntarily film ourselves, have little to do with him. More on this from Wolfgang M. Schmitt in the video!
