In the third episode of Film Magistery Dino talks about Tim Robbins' Bob Roberts (1992), a satirical mockumentary about a young right-wing conservative folk-singer who runs for the US Senate. The film's political theme is compared to the current presidential election in the USA and Donald Trump. Dino asks if the election of both Bob Roberts and Donald Trump is a clear sign that we live in a post-factual society.
There is also a mentioning of some other examples of political films: The Candidate, Wag The Dog, Election, The Ides of March etc.
