Memory Wars

(2024, Documentary Film, 90 min, cinema)

Elizabeth Loftus appears before American courts in controversial trials and questions the credibility of eyewitnesses. She has been researching the distortion of human memory since the 1970s and is one of the most influential psychologists worldwide. Based on a series of high-profile court cases in which Loftus has and is involved in, Memory Wars exposes the tension between truth and justice – and connects it to the social struggles that run through society today.
