A look inside the world of Anonymous, the radical 'hacktivist' collective that has redefined civil disobedience for the digital age. The program explores the historical roots of early hacktivist groups and traces how they evolved and coalesced into Anonymous, a full-blown movement with global reach and extraordinary power. Around the world, governments and corporations are taking notice as this loosely organised underground group brings down websites and interrupts commerce. The documentary explores whether this could be the beginning of a new and powerful voice for democratic ideals or just another rogue player craving attention and causing reckless havoc.
