"Truth"

In a deliciously meta twist, a propaganda film about the propaganda (and real) war in Ukraine has already begun filming in Russia.

The film, (sarcastically?) titled “Truth,” will launch with the tagline: “Everyone has their own truth…”

Filming has nearly completed in Kaliningrad and focuses on Russian journalists “who for the sake of truthful reporting often sacrifice their lives.”

The storyline is said to involve the Azov Battalion, Berkut police, Donetsk militants, and American mercenaries for good measure. If promotional images for the flick are any indication, I predict the plot involves a fascist Kiev junta who may or may not abduct and murder RT truthseekers who were only trying to warn the world of the democratic Nazi menace.

Hopefully I didn’t ruin the ending.
