In a land where water-gathering is a woman’s job, a Tibetan farmwoman patiently, gracefully and painstakingly collects water, 80 pounds at a time, on her family’s yak farm. We are witness to this timeless ritual, repeated throughout the day every day—offering a meditation on survival, culture, opportunities and privilege.


Bari Pearlman Director’s Statement


I have traveled extensively through both the modern and third world, but nothing will ever compare to the extremely remote and subsistence way of life that I was immersed in during my 8 weeks journey through Nangchen, Tibet. There were so many times during filming when my camerawoman Gena and I had to stop our work and just process the majesty of the landscape surrounding us and the daily struggle for survival we were witnessing.


My relationship to water, and my understanding of my privileges as a western woman, were changed forever in that time.

Anonymous, the radical hacktivist collective that has redefined civil disobedience for the digital age, have launched various cyber-attacks or “raids” on hundreds of targets from Visa and Paypal in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act, to Scientology and WikiLeaks. They have taken down police and government domains, compromised corporate servers, dumped files, seized millions of internal documents from security companies, and handed over numerous private emails and passwords. They have also worked to keep the internet operating in the face of frustrated dictators during the Arab Spring.


The film takes us inside the world of Anonymous through interviews with current members, writers, academics, and activists, and traces the collective’s evolution from often hilarious and unruly prankster beginnings to a full-blown movement with global reach. [adult content, language]


Brian Knappenberger Director’s Statement


Over the last year I’ve been following along as Anonymous has been sailing the seas of the internet, generally wreaking havoc and causing mayhem. Usually actions have been taken in the name of free speech and internet liberty, though occasionally it’s more for the “lulz” — for the sake of pure chaos, hilarity or Schadenfreude. Those moments can make you cringe or laugh out loud, usually both.


As security strategist and philosopher Joshua Corman told me, “individual, young, nameless, faceless folks are having geopolitical impact. It’s both exhilarating to realize that and terrifying to realize that. It kind of depends on how that power is wielded. Whether you think it’s bad or not is irrelevant, it’s not going away.” For the “hacktivist” it has been a hell of a year.
