In the film, a spin doctor and a Hollywood producer fabricate a war to distract the public from a presidential sex scandal. After the screening, join a fireside chat moderated by Adrian Sulzer, Head of Corporate Communications at the University of St.Gallen, featuring Peter Metzinger (Mr. Campaigning), a campaigner, consultant, and politician.
