SLAMDANCE 2012: Trailer For Hacktivist Doc WE ARE LEGION: THE STORY OF THE HACKTIVIST


Let's be frank here society is becoming more digitised from entertainment, shopping, our need for information is increasing.For years the way to protest was in the means of marching though still exists alot more groups are using the digital world to voice their protest or anger, groups such as Anonymous are growing thanks to it.

Brian Knappenberger's We Are Legion: The Story Of The Hacktivists, is own of the more interesting films that have been picked for next year's Slamdance Film Festival. The documentary is an insight into the largely ignored Anonymous group which maybe invisible to many people but growing in power they are the Hacktivist generation which wont be going away for a long time...power to the people!



"We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists" is a documentary that takes us inside the world of Anonymous, the radical "hacktivist" collective that has redefined civil disobedience for the digital age. The film explores the historical roots of early hacktivist groups like Cult of the Dead Cow and Electronic Disturbance Theater and then follows Anonymous from 4chan to a full-blown movement with a global reach, one of the most transformative of our time.
