Red Shadow Over the White House

With the 2024 US presidential elections fast approaching, the Russian grip on the American right – through spies, semi-spies and agents of influence – in the service of Russia is a pervasive reality.

Today, only 48% of Republican voters support Ukraine, and more prefer Putin to Biden. Putin is now counting on Trump’s victory in 2024 to put a definitive stop to American support for Ukraine and pave the way for a Russian victory.

How did this level of influence come about? What is its real impact on American political life? What are the real links between Trump and the Kremlin?

Former CIA, FBI, KGB and FSB officials, former Trump advisors, investigative journalists, dissidents and lawyers all testify. They each hold a piece of the puzzle and tell how this strategy of Kremlin influence over Republicans has been forged over fifty years, from the end of the Cold War to the present day, and how Donald Trump has become one of its most strategic pawns.

This investigative documentary, made like a political thriller, immerses us in the history of Russian infiltration in the United States, Russia’s mafia-like logics, revealing the Russian President’s ambitions and thirst for revenge.
