This film isn't about who won, it's how they won, it's not about who is using yiur data, it's the fact that they are. It's about data rights, not the right, not the left.....come on folks of IMDb you are cleverer than this. It's an important movie so watch it again.

I believe a lot of people could not follow with the whole cambridge analytica case. Mostly because of how many articles were written about it and you had to read all of them to understand it completely. The documentary however contained all the information of all the articles into an entertaining, exciting documentary that only lasted 2 hours but felt like only 1.

Have a look at many of the reviewers who have given this film 1 star - many usernames with random collection of digits at the end - click on their review history and you'll see they've submitted a small handful of reviews, all either "liberal propaganda" accusations or extremely brief reviews of politically-neutral films just to create the impression of a real user account. I guess this film touched a nerve! Overall the film gave a solid account of the workings of Cambridge Analytica, but I do agree that it was a little uncritical of the morally repugnant Brittany Kaiser. The transformation of the internet from an excellent research tool into a propaganda machine where the most reliable content is locked behind firewalls is a sad inevitability of this world. Who knows what the answer is? Switch off your devices and go for a walk, I guess.

...but most won't admit. Why? Simply because we're addicted to it. Who could shut down fb (or any other social network) account, or TV, after watching this documentary (or "Snowden", or even 1971's "Network")? 1? 2? None? Whoever believes technology is here for the good of the society, they're just deep trapped into that illusion. Technology developed for military purposes. That's the "A". Business and commerce is the "B". What is the "C"? "Control". Who's behind that? Freaks of the highest elite. What they want? Everything. Our mind, souls, and all the resources and wealth this planet can offer. What can we do? Well, not much. The majority is blind, and they're "happy" in their blindness. One-eyed, they are few, and usually suffer from depression (often because they can't stand all that "beep" going on around 'em). Two-eyed, i've never met. So i guess there's no way out for our deeply hypnotised and failed species, except maybe from a "hard reset"...

Engrossing film, and reveals the extent of data scraping that is going on in today's world that is then being used for nefarious purposes.

Interesting to see how it all works, but my beef with the flick is the one-sided view of one of the main characters in Kaiser.

Plain to see that this is a person with little to no moral compass, that happily did what she did to hobnob and feel important/to make an impact. When it was apparent that the sky was falling, she happily turned "whistleblower" and spilled everything she could on operations. I failed to see her show any remorse for the work she did in setting up the whole infrastructure over 3.5+ years. Yet throughout the film she is portrayed as being free from blame and just a source of information, when she clearly sold her soul to make money and for other purposes known only to her. The film-makers almost portray her as a victim and instead of asking the hard questions, appear to be content to play best friend.

The doco could have been much more impactful and meaningful if they had retained independence and reported as such, but all in all a worthwhile watch.
