Your smartphone, safely shut off for the duration of this film, may never be turned on again, such are the revelations about the many Orwellian ways your personal data is observed, harvested, bought, and sold. Filmmaker Cullen Hoback deciphers the small print to which we casually consent with every online account, explores the secret, state-sanctioned surveillance we haven’t consented to, and introduces us to people whose lives have fallen into the widening grey area between public and private. It’s truly scary, but Hoback has a great sense of how darkly comic this story is and has crafted a deftly funny exposé.
