Hungary under Orbán: Is it possible to defend a free press against political pressure from an authoritarian government?
In 2020, as a result of mounting political pressure, Index—Hungary’s largest independent news outlet—collapsed. In a historic gesture of defiance, more than eighty journalists resigned. Among them was András Földes, who decided to document from the inside the unprecedented struggle for freedom of speech in an increasingly authoritarian state.
“80 Angry Journalists” is a moving and uncompromising account of the resistance of independent journalists subjected to massive political pressure. The film exposes the mechanisms of pressure and the systematic undermining of the media, showing just how fragile democracy can be. At the same time, it is a story about those who refuse to compromise—about journalists standing today on the front lines of the fight for the truth.
In an era of disinformation and growing political influence, the story of *Index* is no longer just a local case—it has become a warning to all of Europe.
