HyperNormalisation is a 2016 documentary by Adam Curtis that argues contemporary life is steered by a manufactured, simplified reality. Using archival footage, interviews and Curtis’s narration, the film traces how governments, media and corporations craft a 'fake world' to cope with complexity—wars, financial crises, and shifting identities—while ordinary people feel powerless and unable to imagine viable alternatives.
