The Bilderberg Group, an annual private gathering of political leaders, bankers, and industrialists that began in 1954, is the subject of this film by Jason Bermas and Shepard Ambellas. The pair argue that the group functions as a steering committee for world events, coordinating policy on everything from finance to geoengineering projects aimed at altering the climate, while mainstream press coverage of its meetings stays minimal. Interviews and archival material trace the group's history from its Cold War origins to its present membership of CEOs and heads of state, building the case that its closed-door sessions set the following year's political and economic agenda. The film also spends time on how language and repeated buzzwords shape public reaction to ideas, framing this as a deliberate tool the group's members use to manage dissent. Bermas and Ambellas present the Bilderberg meetings as the visible tip of a larger, coordinated effort to control government and corporate decision-making, and the film's case rests on connecting that annual gathering to policies most viewers never hear debated in public.
