From role playing games to animated GIFs, from reenacted performances to poetic writing, this video essay asks: what is an authentic expression of anger?

A poetic journey through the collages of paper maps made by Robert Kramer during the preparation of the shooting of Route One USA, to which are superimposed excerpts from his diary, and scenes from the finished film. How do you prepare a shoot when your desire is simply to leave, camera in hand, on the roads, and document unexpected encounters?
A researcher finds a phone video showing hundreds of ISIS captives running through a desert. She is puzzled that the video is posted on YouTube by Les Observateurs, a French state-funded news channel as a work of “citizen journalism”. While the video has been removed from many other channels, the French news channel’s legitimacy allows the video to remain online and spread terror over several years. Further investigation uncovers multiple variants of the footage on countless other sites, leading her to despair.

A film that brings two worlds into dialogue: that of the online game GeoGuessr and that of the filmography of Chris Marker, the filmmaker and multimedia artist, deeply fascinated by digital technology and travel.
