Based on three years of EU-funded SMIDGE research, Middle Rage is a first-of-its-kind documentary exposing the hidden machinery of right-wing populism. Set for exclusive European policy screenings, it investigates the systematic radicalisation of a critically overlooked demographic: vulnerable 45–65-year-olds.

“Working with Sian Hamlett has been a real joy and a thoroughly wonderful experience. From preproduction to production and now post-production, the whole process has been exceptional. One thing I've loved most is her willingness to experiment, in a truly collaborative and professional fashion. Sian and her company are great to work with.”
To map this crisis, the film features Pamela Duncan tracking disinformation, Dr. Rob Topinka exposing algorithmic hijacking, Philip Seargeant unpacking the weaponisation of language, and Lord Carlile revealing the resulting real-world security threats, among many other experts.
Ultimately, the film provides a vital framework for building digital resilience and dismantling extremist narratives across the continent.
