DE, BR, NL, IT, USA • 2018• 88’• VO/OV st Fr/En
Dive into the hidden industry of digital cleaning. In a hangar in the Philippines, an army of employees is scouring violence, pornography, and political content from the Internet, for the "common good." Using testimonials and interviews, the film unveils the psychological consequences of preventive censorship - as well as the political and democratic questions it raises for societies. Who controls what we see... and what we think? When does the effort to combat evil become dangerous censorship?
