In an era shadowed by unsettling echoes of the past, journalist Johnny Harris embarks on a gripping investigation into the dark origins of fascism. Journeying back to the tumultuous 1920s, Harris unravels the chilling "source code" that fueled the rise of Mussolini and Hitler, setting the stage for a world forever altered by tyrannical ambition and divisive ideologies. As he navigates the modern landscape, Harris confronts the haunting possibility that history's specter may be rising once more. Through incisive interviews and stark revelations, he probes whether today's political strongmen, surging xenophobia, and clandestine alliances among the elite are harbingers of fascism's ominous return. This compelling documentary challenges us to recognize the signs and question the path forward for our global society.
