This documentary seems to suggest there is... or perhaps it's only a tongue-in-cheek fiction. I'd like to know more about this issue, however, to whatever extent there is truth to it.
No, the film is being made with t he expressed purpose of showing how consumers are ready to believe anything they see in the media.
The director calls the film "docu-fiction, " and says the purpose is "to make the audience think, what are they going to believe, not only in this film but also in the media today?"
