This is a story of democracy dying through free and fair elections that bring to power a leader, Viktor Orban, who then uses the power of the state and the power of lawmaking to undermine democratic institutions. Democracy Noir follows three courageous women as they fight to expose both the step-by-step destruction of democracy and corruption within Viktor Orbán’s Hungary--a white nationalist regime, envied by promoters of a new brand of authoritarianism throughout the world.
