Three Hungarian women - a journalist, a nurse and an opposition politician - fight in different ways to expose corruption and lies in Viktor Orbán's Hungary. But they face a lot of resistance from several quarters.

Informative doc as to the political climate of Hungary and the obvious parallels that can be drawn to the US and other countries. Whether this sets off alarm bells or if this could be seen as a potential playbook lies entirely in perspective. I’ve seen a number of documentaries in recent years that all tell very similar stories, though, so none of this feels particularly new and also doesn’t fill me with a ton of optimism for the future.
