Q&A with the filmmaker Liz Smith hosted by Scott Archer Painter.

Three women set off on a road trip across America. One of them is a MAGA supporter and conspiracy theorist. She has just been sentenced to 30 months in prison for her role in the storming of The US Capitol. They meet other “patriots” along the way and as the journey unfolds she leads her travel companions deeper into her labyrinth of conspiracy, determined to open their eyes to what she sees as the real truth. By the trip’s end will she have converted them to her “5D world”?

“The Conspiracists is astounding in its scope and depth. The filmmakers pull off an incredibly difficult feat of representation: humanizing their subjects and helping us maintain empathy for them, while also holding onto clarity and truth and fact.” Valerie Weaver-Zercher, Broadleaf Books
