LE ROI DU MENSONGE

In this short documentary series, Marc Labrèche examines the case of Roger Tétreault, the king of fake news before its time, and his many exploits in manipulating the media in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Roger the dodger was profiled as a nuclear scientist, an environmental activist, and even as a mole in an FLQ terrorist cell in television, newspapers, and magazines…when in fact he was really just a world-class expert in deception and misinformation. And in every instance he was always the same man but never the same person.
