THE WALDHEIM WALTZ is a film about lies and truth. About "alternative facts". About individual and collective consciousness. An analysis of the exposure of former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim by the World Jewish Congress. And a lesson on the successful use of anti-Semitic slogans and populist propaganda during an election campaign. THE FALTER
"When I saw again the footage I had shot 30 years ago during demonstrations against Waldheim, I was shocked. Had I forgotten how easily emotions can be stirred up against others and used by populist politicians?" RUTH BECKERMAN
