In the United States and elsewhere, both sides of politics have revelled in spectacle and image for many decades. But when Donald Trump, the billionaire reality-television host became president, a new escalation of image and spectacle engulfed dominant culture. The Trump Show is a series that explores the beguiling spectacle of the Trump years, through interviews with former White House staffers, media managers, campaign directors, and other personalities that were close to Trump during his presidency. The series documents how image has now replaced substance in politics in a totalising way, and how false constructions seek to pave over reality through a culture that is deeply rooted in hyper-individualism, fierce and corrupt competition, ideological dogmatism, and post-modern delusions.
Watergate is a mini-series that provides insight on the presidential corruption scandal in the United States involving Richard M. Nixon through the early 1970s. The scandal eventually led to his resignation as America's president. The series is based on the book Watergate: The Corruption and Fall of Richard Nixon, by Fred Emery.
