We Are Legion: Digital (R)Evolution

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. The film traces the collective's evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown movement with a global reach. In the last year, Anonymous has been associated with attacks or "raids" on hundred's of targets ranging from financial institutions, cyber-security firms to foreign dictators. They played a vital role in the "Occupy" movement and recently launched the largest DDoS attacks in history against Hollywood for their support of SOPA.

Armed with colleagues from the filmmaking and digital communities, writer/director Brian Knappenberger weighs in on the challenges of making the film, the roots of Anonymous, and their current battles with Hollywood.
