What is Inside Job about?
For employees of the Deep State, conspiracies aren't just theories — they're fact. And keeping them a secret is a full-time job.
A brisk, darkly comic animation exposes the absurd, gritty lives of Deep State employees keeping conspiracies under wraps.
Satirical and absurdist, with dry wit. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Netflix.
