An animated feature charting the dark history of conspiracy theories — from the medieval blood libel to the present-day algorithmic conspiracy machine.
The Conspiracy is an animated feature documentary that traces the centuries-long thread connecting conspiracy theories to antisemitism — from the medieval blood libel to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to QAnon. Told through a fictional 19th-century investigator and a chorus of contemporary voices, the film argues that the conspiracy theory is not a glitch in modern politics but its operating system.
Produced by Story Syndicate. Voice cast includes Liev Schreiber, Lake Bell, Ben Shenkman, and Jason Alexander.

"Bold, layered visual style that combines archive and animation in new ways."
