We are legion: the story of the hacktivists

Brian Knappenberger

USA ● 2012 ● 93’

Anonymous, young and powerful: cyber-activists now have a new face: the Guy Fawkes mask in the comic book  V pour Vendetta. The "Anonymous" collective fights not only for freedom of expression online, but for larger concerns as well. In some cases, their interventions are physical, not virtual. After becoming known to the general public in 2008 following virtual attacks against the Church of Scientology, this hard-to-define group has been the subject of commentary and misunderstanding. This film tells the story of the group’s genesis and their successes.

Followed by a dialogue with Olivier Meunier (numerical artist, member of Cassiopea and HackLab of the ULB).
