Active Measures
This 2018 documentary explores allegations of collusion between the campaign of US President Donald Trump and Russian agents.
Russian security services use the term “active measures” for political warfare that aims to influence world events. The film suggests that Russian president Vladimir Putin is behind a 30-year campaign of political warfare, culminating in the interference in the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the US.
The film includes interviews with well-known political figures such as former presidential candidates John McCain and Hillary Clinton, former ambassadors and white house chiefs of staff, and Obama’s CIA chief of staff, and the former presidents of Georgia and Estonia – in short, a panel of experts who’ve been behind the curtains of power.
