2hr doco focusing on how our digital fingerprint is transformed by data collecting agencies, in this case Cambridge Analytical, and how they feed you information based on your searches/likes/transactions etc... Bloody scary stuff!!!!
its all about Psy-ops and the use of military grade cyber weapons and how theyre aimed at influencing the user.
goes into how they helped Obama win in 2008, then tried to promote Cruz in 2016 before discrediting Hillary and finally supporting Trump, then it moves on to the online campaign pro-Brexit etc.
Facebook allowed them to use theur platform yet did nothing to disuade/stop it.
show is filmed with actors and scripted sections pus interviews/news footage of the people behind Cambridge Analytical/Facebook.
rating 4/5 a must watch IMO
