Recounts and analyses great lies that have changed the course of history. An illuminating examination of wide scale disinformation and cunning deceptions with serious geopolitical, historic and human consequences. Between an investigation and a forensic analysis.

Deception is a documentary series, which recounts and analyse great lies that have changed the course of history. Between an investigation and a forensic analysis, each film is presented like a political thriller, and deciphers each step of a particular brainwashing operation that had a dramatic historical impact, questioning the motives and strategies of the different parties involved. Comprehensive hoaxes that changed the face of the world. Produced by Sunset Presse with CNC, France 5/France Televisions and Al Jazeera Media Network
