The Truth Has Changed is a groundbreaking filmed live performance and book created by legendary filmmaker and activist Josh Fox. The Truth Has Changed is a solo monologue which traces the arc of American propaganda and misinformation from 9/11 to Trump from the perspective of the front lines. From his experiences as a first responder during 9/11, to his groundbreaking reporting on fracking, to his eye opening eco-flights over the Gulf of Mexico during the BP oil spill, to Hurricane Sandy to the massive rallies for Bernie Sanders during the 2016 election and the Democratic Convention to Standing Rock and beyond, Josh Fox is an eyewitness to history. The Truth Has Changed tells the story of this terrifying progression of American history from a front row seat. Sadly, misinformation has now become more prevalent than fact. Propaganda, more popular than journalism. Oligarchy has supplanted democracy. And oil and gas have become more dominant than ever in the USA. Methods and technologies for destroying the basis of truth in our society are stronger and more pervasive than ever. The recent revelations that Cambridge Analytica and the Trump campaign amassed huge amounts of data on each and every American adult, show that big data is transforming the way we process information in our country. It is crucial, that if we are to maintain democracy, that real journalism and truth triumph over these campaigns of disinformation. To do that, we need to understand the fundamental tools of the propaganda machine: addressable ad technology, search engine optimization, and psychographics. If we are to move back from propaganda and lies to truth and verification, we must understand how we are being manipulated in ever more comprehensive psychological and emotional ways. Josh Fox was an early target of Steve Bannon and Andrew Breitbart, he experienced firsthand the nefarious and effective techniques of smear and slander that are the current ruling ethos in so much of our government and media. The toxic media and social media ecosystem in which we are processing information has rocketed into unchartered territory. More than ever, each piece of information that you receive via the internet, media, facebook and google is tailored to you exclusively. Facebook and Google and most of the major corporations on earth have amassed so much data on you, that they know more about you than ever before. And they are selling that data to the highest bidders. Advertisers, marketers, politicians, movie moguls, anyone and everyone who can pay.
