RT is a Russian international television network funded by the Russian government. The idea behind Russia Today is to provide a Russian point of view on major global events. The US Secretary of State John Kerry recently called Russia’s international news channel Russia Today a “Propaganda machine”.
The channel Russia Today was launched in 2005 under the name Russia Today to bring the Russian perspective on world events to a global audience. To counter channels like BBC World, CNN and Al-Jazeera. Almost ten years later it’s the biggest news organisation on YouTube with its 2 billion views, more than CNN and BBC together.
Where its critics call it a bullhorn for Russian propaganda, RT presents itself as an alternative to mainstream media.
In “The world according to RT” former employees, other journalists and media analysts dissect the RT modus operandi. What’s it like to work for the channel? How much influence does the Kremlin really have? And is it possible to discern between facts and opinion when the Russian interests are at stake?
This documentary comes out of a series of reports about the effect and influence of media on society published in 2015: ARGOS TV: MEDIALOGICA.
On the basis of concrete incidents, the difference between the reality and the image that the media paints from it is reconstructed and investigated, with the help of the stakeholders at the time and supported by archival material.
In this episode an investigation into the influence of the Kremlin on Russia’s international news channel Russia Today.

The 9-11 attacks on America left its citizens in a state of shock. President George W. Bush responded by declaring “war on terror”. This two-part documentary looks at the role propaganda played leading up to 9-11 and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is a story of hearts and minds won and lost on a battlefield that has no boundaries. In a digital age, when terrorists are recruited online and hate propaganda flourishes, how do we know where the truth lies?episodes:
01. An Unseen Enemy
1991. Out of the ruins of the Cold War, a dominant America finds itself in a new kind of war. A war with no true battlefield, no front lines, in which religion will be used as a weapon.
It all begins with Operation Desert Storm. The Americans easily win the first Gulf War and drive Saddam Hussein from Kuwait, but they will make two decisions that fundamentally impact the future: Saddam Hussein is left in power in Iraq, while U.S. military troops remain in Saudi Arabia to ensure the region’s stability.
02. Mission Unaccomplished
U.S. President George W. Bush sells his war in Iraq as a necessary conflict aimed at removing a dictator whose weapons of mass destruction pose a global terrorist threat. “Operation Iraqi Freedom” is supposed to be a quick surgical strike, a campaign of “shock and awe”.
The western media jumps at the chance to cover the story, but reporters have limited access, except for those “embedded” with the military. After three weeks, Bush declares “Mission Accomplished”. The war is over, but it’s really only the beginning. A guerilla insurgency takes hold. Al Jazeera, the Arabic language network, chronicles the conflict in detail. The White House loses control of its propaganda message; first, with the bloody combat in the city of Fallujah, then with shocking images from the Abu Ghraib jail, where American soldiers are revealed to be abusing their Iraqi prisoners.SIMILAR TITLES:
