Dubious allegations, an incendiary report, a greedy journalist… it was enough to trigger the storm. Made from vlogs of far-right personalities, "Bait" traces the repercussions of a real Quebec “fake news” involving a mosque and a construction site. For the filmmaker, it is a work of montage assembled without authorization and having a mainly militant function: that of denouncing the responsibility of the media in the recent emergence of the far-right extremism in Quebec.
