Convictions – QAnon, the quest
On January 6, 2021, supporters of Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol, convinced that the ousted president was waging a secret war against a satanist pedophile elite. In their early days, the QAnon conspirators lurked in the depths of the web. Since the pandemic, they are no longer hiding. And their ideas are infiltrating Quebec. Who are they ? What do they want? And above all, how did we get there? After anti-sanitary measures activists, the second season of Convictions is devoted to the followers of “Q”, a mystical figure as fascinating as it is disturbing. In seven well-rounded episodes, journalists Jeff Yates and Brigitte Noël paint a very complete portrait of a constantly changing movement and the dangers it poses to our democracies.
