Hold-up is a 2020 independent pseudoscience propaganda film directed by French conspiracy theorist[1]  [fr]. The film makes a number of false claims about the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Hold-Up was first released as a VoD on Vimeo 11 November 2020. Vimeo deleted the film the next day, citing the numerous lies in the film; DailyMotion likewise removed the film the next day.[3] The film continues to be spread on social media among QAnon supporters.

Plot[]

Hold-Up claims that a global conspiracy plot had been formed by the world's elites, and particularly the World Economic Forum. According to the film, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was deliberately created for an excuse to enslave humanity. A full version of the documentary that remains online has been watched more than 2 000 000 times</ref> [1], while a trailer for Hold Up also remains visible on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.[4] All central claims of the film have been proven to be wrong, and the producers of the film have been shown to falsify their sources and misrepresent statements.[5]
