Lesson plan
Absolute Proof
Absolute Proof is a 2021 right-wing conspiracy propaganda film directed by and starring Mike Lindell. It was distributed by One America News Network and promotes the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election instead of Joe Biden. Around the time of their release the documentary was removed by video hosting sites YouTube and Vimeo for violating their community standards, though a reupload of the film has since reappeared on YouTube after YouTube announced in June 2023 that it would no longer remove videos falsely claiming the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen. Absolute Proof won two Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Picture and Worst Actor (for Lindell). Lindell has since released three sequels: Scientific Proof, Absolute Interference, and Absolutely 9-0. He also interviewed Trump about the 2020 election and election conspiracy theories in November 2021.
