The Great Hack

If you've ever received a perfectly-timed targeted ad and thought your phone must be listening in on you, run, don't walk, to this movie. There is a worldwide battle for information about you, and the only way to arm yourself is through knowledge, which is what this revealing and often terrifying data mining documentary delivers in spades. Starting with the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal, Oscar-nominated filmmakers Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim (The Square) dive deep into the hows and whys of corporations amassing mountains of personal data from people around the world. With in-depth testimonials from key players on both sides—including Brittany Kaiser, whose revelations into the inner workings of Cambridge Analytica after defecting are completely chilling—this illuminating film will challenge you to question the ways in which you consume and deliver information in the digital age. In Person: Director Jehane Noujaim, Karim Amer.
