About

Data is arguably the world’s most valuable asset – and it’s being weaponized to wage cultural and political wars. In the new documentary film “The Great Hack,” the dark world of data exploitation is uncovered through the personal journeys of players on different sides of the explosive Cambridge Analytica/Facebook data story. What are the true origins and underlying agendas of the information we consume and share? What are we giving up when we use our phones or keyboards in this digital age? And what can be done to cultivate a healthier marketplace of ideas in the face of so much misinformation?
