Documentary

Directed by Emmy®-winning filmmakers Matthew O’Neill and Perri Peltz (HBO’s Axios), this eye-opening documentary tracks Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ronan Farrow as he investigates the growing business of commercial spyware. Once the target of covert surveillance himself, Farrow explores the multi-billion-dollar industry, addressing the contradictory implications of phone hacking – a tool used to fight terrorism and criminal activity that is now appearing on the phones of activists, journalists, politicians, and ordinary people. As Farrow follows a trail into the largest documented mass-hack using commercial spyware, Surveilled illuminates the human consequences of 21st century cyberwarfare and the ethical dilemmas that citizens and governments must now navigate in the brave new world of cyberespionage.
