It's been a year since the mobilising power of a conspiracy theory nearly brought American democracy to its knees, when a coalition of extremists attacked the capital convinced that the US election was rigged. At the heart of that conviction was QAnon.

In 2020, the 大象传媒's Stephanie Hegarty reported on the dramatic rise of this vast conspiracy during the pandemic. A year on from the attack on the Capitol, she has travelled to the US to meet some of those who still believe in the conspiracy. With a new president in power, QAnon's shadowy leader no longer posting online, and the movement all but banned from social media, why are some people still held in the grip of this conspiracy?
