Synopsis // The Mask of Democracy

Did the seemingly-ideal young nation of Slovenia truly shift from a one-party Communist regime to a to multi-party democracy, or are appearances deceptive?

Three true stories of charges against Janez Janša, each involving phantom accusations and questionable practices, offer a lens through which to examine contemporary Slovenian history and the tug-of-war between those holding onto the old Yugoslav system, and those attempting to establish a new, pro-European one.

Slovenia, today, has a huge national debt and a revolving door of political crises. What happened in the ostensibly democratic and forward-thinking Slovenian judicial system, that allowed for these unproven ghost charges to be heard—and which led to Janša’s ultimate conviction?
