“The Reformers” is a behind-the-scenes documentary about the infamous Grievance Studies Affair—an audacious academic hoax that set out to expose the entrenchment of illiberal ideology within Western universities. In a daring undercover experiment, a ragtag group of concerned intellectuals submitted fabricated social research papers to prestigious journals in politically charged fields. The aim? To reveal a worldwide research and credential-laundering racket. The film follows their often hilarious journey while probing the alarming state of the modern academy, raising urgent questions about intellectual integrity, free speech, and the future of higher education. Bret Weinstein and James Lindsay lead the post-screening discussion.
