”Democracy Noir” is a story of three brave women, confronting the corruption of Hungary’s autocratic Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

”Democracy Noir” is the compelling story of three women, Timea Szabo, one of the very few women serving in the Hungarian Parliament, Nikoletta Antal, a young activist, and Babett Oroszi, a young journalist, confronting the policies and corruption of Hungary’s autocratic Prime Minister Viktor Orban.  In the past decade we have seen autocracies rise all over the world – Turkey, Belarus, Serbia, and almost in the United States.

Our film reveals an urgent cautionary tale for all democracies: Orban’s relentless work to build an autocratic white Christian state, kept in power through ”democratic” elections. ”Democracy Noir” serves as a warning and a ray of hope: it reveals the undemocratic nature of Orban’s regime and the courage of three women, representing many, who will not acquiesce.
