Can't wait to see it when it's finally completed. Perhaps it will fill in the holes in the hacktivist narrative that We Are Legion left open?

The movie looks really interesting. I cannot figure out when it is expected to be completed. Does anyone know?

I thought I saw a Kickstarter page for this a month or two ago but I can't find it now.

I assume that it making the front page means they met their funding goal? When I first saw the Kickstarter page they didn't seem very close, but good for them! I'm excited to see the film.

Looks like they were going for $80,000. Almost made it to $30,000.

Looking forward to seeing the end result. I can't get enough of documentaries on subjects like this that are produced by people that actually have half a clue.

As a chilean was kind of a surprise to see chimbalab listed as political hacking. While I agree that control technology for your own es a political act, there were collectives at the same time doing work on social and political spaces. Free internet, radio or even tv in 'poblaciones' (excluded poor places of the city), huge media projects that involved 90% of public communications from local activists, and even a open, communitary and free access hacklab. So i'm really forward too see what they have to say.
