The Cold War ended, and history was declared over.
For a time, this was the footnote that geopolitical theorists and historians attached to the 20th century—democracy and freedom had triumphed, and the age of strongmen had come to a close.
But history had no intention of saying goodbye.
In the past decade, we’ve witnessed the return of authoritarian leaders across the globe. Giloo’s latest program invites you to revisit this phenomenon through documentaries that profile political strongmen—films that explore how politics and media work hand in hand to manufacture power, and how today’s strongmen have mastered new tools and tactics to maintain their grip.
