The world is doomed.  Or, is it? The truth is, there’s never been a better time to be alive.
TRUST ME shows how an avalanche of negative news and mis-information is creating a perception gap between the perceived state of the world and reality.  This leads to mistrust of others, which leads to racism, polarization, mental health disorders and even crime. Sensational media capitalize on our survival instincts to earn clicks and revenue with shocking and too often erroneous headlines – and we’re enabling them each time we share. When fear goes up, it erodes trust. When we don't trust each other, we don't help each other. The trend is an insidious illness that too many are unaware of. TRUST ME uses heartfelt stories, facts and experts to show us the proper way to consume media.
What people are saying about TRUST ME:
Whom should you trust in the media? Trust Me addresses this all important issue, as alternative facts and fake news pepper our online feed of headlines, clouding our minds and slanting our views. I am proud to have been a part of this artful and powerful film that not only addresses the problem but, more importantly, offers solutions. But don’t trust me—see it for yourself.”
—Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic magazine, author of Why People Believe Weird Things, The Moral Arc, and Giving the Devil His Due
