Pretty much anyone.
This documentary will grab techies and non-techies, like us, alike. It recounts the history of Internet hacktivism, focusing on Anonymous shift from its outrageous and humorous beginnings in 4Chan to a full-blown global digital movement that inspired actions. Basically, it’s a coming of age story but with cool techie thingamajigs and government secrecy.
