Director Nathalie Borgers did not want to make a film about Joerg Haider before he died. Haider was the leader of an extreme right wing party that came to be part of the Austrian government in 2000, triggering a Europe-wide anti-extremist panic. But after Haider died in a car crash in 2008, just as right-wing populism was being revived across the globe, Borgers went searching for the emotional and psychological sources of Haider’s support in his fiefdom, Carinthia, hoping to unlock the political and strategic formula that allows for right-wing populism to take hold in established Western democracies. A surprisingly intimate and personal documentary about the perils of identitarian illusions haunting our post-globalized world.
