Investigative thriller based on a true story that shows how, even before Trump, public opinion could be informed by lies.

Journalist Bas Haan creates a monster when, during his investigation into the Deventer murder case, he is drawn in by those who accuse "the handyman" of murder. The result is a media witch-hunt that turns the life of the accused into a genuine nightmare. Stunned by this 'trial by media' Bas decides to fight the conspiracies with facts. But to his frustration he finds that the image is more powerful than the truth. How facts lose the battle to images: #fakenews
