              WHAT IS TRUTH ANYWAY - DOCUMENTARY IN THE AGE OF MISTRUST

              14:00 - 14:50 Tuesday 17th Mar 2026 / 50 min

              A conversation about trust, power, and the future of documentary.

              Drawing on audience research, media theory, and the growing impact of synthetic media, we’ll examine how truth has never been fixed, but is now increasingly fluid, personalised, and context-dependent. As AI blurs the line between fact and fabrication, the question may no longer be “What is truth?” at all, but “What is reality – and how can we know that”? If seeing is no longer believing, how do audiences decide what is real? What happens to precision, verification, and public service values in the post-truth world And how should documentary rethink its relevance, ethics, and craft in an AI-augmented media ecosystem?

              This session can only be purchased as part of the full afternoon bundle.
