Take an educational tour of Hungarian politics in the film DEMOCRACY NOIR, which emerges as a point of reference on world politics courtesy of Connie Field's directorial hand.

As a first impression, it's undeniably potent—a narrative that captures your attention and clutches at your heart with the raw courage on display. Living in the US, I also feel that this film is a warning, a red flag for people here to open their eyes and see what horrible potential the November election could cause if more don’t take it seriously.
