The Truth about 5G investigates the rise of the anti-5G movement and the spread of wild conspiracy theories tying the COVID-19 pandemic to the 5G rollout plan. In the process of piecing together the viral spread of these theories, a sophisticated misinformation campaign is uncovered. Activists claiming 5G is an invisible and potentially deadly health hazard, blame the radiation emitted by the technology for a range of long-term health problems. They have demanded an immediate end to the current rollout, protesting in the streets even amidst the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. This documentary investigates these claims, exploring how 5G technology really works and examining the scientific studies undertaken into whether it is in fact a threat to our health.
