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.
You are tracked by government databases while corporate advertisers
are looking to buy your personal data for pennies. In this landscape,

and information freedom groups around the globe.
The documentary traces Anonymous' evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown movement for civil disobedience with a global reach.
