WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists takes us inside the world of
Anonymous, the radical "hacktivist" collective that has redefined civil
disobedience for the digital age. The film traces the collective's
evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown movement with a global
reach. In the last year, Anonymous has been associated with attacks or
"raids" on hundred's of targets ranging from financial institutions,
cyber-security firms to foreign dictators. They played a vital role in
the "Occupy" movement and recently launched the largest DDoS attacks in
history against Hollywood for their support of SOPA.
Armed with
colleagues from the filmmaking and digital communities, writer/director
Brian Knappenberger weighs in on the challenges of making the film, the
roots of Anonymous, and their current battles with Hollywood
