In an era of mass surveillance, the film explores whether privacy still exists. The internet has rapidly transformed into a system where personal data is collected, stored, and shared between corporations and governments worldwide—the premise being that if a service is free, users are the product. The hacker community sees this as a challenge and believes that only a technological fight can overcome this pervasive control.
