We Are Legion:The Story Of The Hacktivists (2012)

Directed by: Brian Knappenberger
Country: USA

Summary: The workings and beliefs of "Anonymous".
Review: A documentary about the hackers group “Anonymous” and how the “Hacktivism” was born. As a movie there’s really not much to be said. It is based on testimonials and stories about the group, invoking the risks but also the necessity of its existence. It’s not very accurate or detailed about some of the stuff covered, including how far freedom can go in our society, but otherwise provides essential information for us to understand the basic principles and goals of their actions. The movie itself may not have amazed me but partly gained my sympathy in favor of these “vigilantes”, who can become a nightmare for rich and hypocrite societies.
