Description: In September 1993, a TV show like no other appeared on our screens asking us to consider the essence of truth and belief to think about the nature and roles of science and humanity and to question what we were told by those in power. Combining horror science fiction drama crime and comedy with cinematic filmmaking The X - Files transported the paranoia of the sixties and seventies to the technologically savvy nineties as it followed two iconic characters FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in their labyrinthine pursuit of truth. Further The X - Files reversed conventional television gender roles: Mulder was our believer in the paranormal chasing down clues in search of his abducted sister; Scully was the sceptic a scientist preaching rationality and objective truth. Now thirty years later the nature of conspiracy theories may have changed but the anxiety surrounding them has not. In an era in which Watergate has been replaced by Gamergate and conspiracy theorists blindly embrace the myth of a stolen election and maintain that an all - powerful cabal of Satanic Democrats - defeatable by only one man - is preying on children The X - Files remains as relevant as ever.
