Manipulation (2026)
Directed by David Balda
“Who can you trust when the truth is contaminated?”
Drama, Thriller · 1h 56m
Across Europe and beyond, a powerful elite society operates in plain sight while exerting unseen control. What appears to be influence is, in fact, a sophisticated system of manipulation embedded within both political structures and the Church itself. As the layers are peeled back, the thriller reveals an omnipresent threat — adaptive, relentless, and far more powerful than initially believed — challenging the very notion of free will and authority in the modern world.
