Climate Change

Research Led Counter Narrative TV Shows

These satirical films target the 45–65 age group to build digital resilience. Developed for SMIDGE (Social Media Narratives: Addressing Extremism in Middle Age), this EU-funded project researches how online narratives influence middle-aged audiences.

The series combines live-action presenter footage with the latest AI post-production innovations to create immersive game show environments and animated effects. This high-energy format is designed to deconstruct complex disinformation directly across social media platforms
