The Matter Of Facts(2026)

The Matter of Facts is a documentary series exploring what happens when society loses trust in factual information. Hosted by Hamish Macdonald, the show examines how truth and falsehood have become nearly impossible to distinguish in today's digital landscape. As misinformation spreads at scale across online platforms, the series investigates how manufactured information shapes our beliefs, influences our behavior, and affects our voting choices. Macdonald travels through a world where facts themselves have become contested territory, revealing the mechanisms behind disinformation campaigns and their real-world consequences. The series asks urgent questions about media literacy, institutional credibility, and what it means to live in an age where the very concept of shared truth is under siege.
