WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists

This feel-good activism documentary chronicles the story of Anonymous and it's offshoots, from its origins on 4chan, early operations against Hal Turner and Scientology, through the Lulzsec activities of 2011. It does a good job of marketing the Freedom ethos, but there's little time spent on opposing viewpoints if you want an apolitical account.

If you don't believe the government will always protects ALL your freedoms, you too rely on Anonymous. I expect though that only those who agree with film will ever see it.
