Critical response

“Sobering and illuminating… its neutral approach leaves it up to the viewer to either side with the carnival sideshow characters… or continue to place our belief in science, math and reality.”

Richard Roeper / RogerEbert.com

“Insightful… and harrowing to watch. On a human scale, families are destroyed and communities riven. More chilling still is the prospect that, even after Jan. 6, the most cataclysmic fallout of the proliferation of conspiracy theories is yet to come.”

Judy Berman / Time

“Shadowland is fascinating, upsetting, sometimes depressing, sometimes revelatory journalism.”
