Whatever else might be said about groups like Anonymous and LulzSec—and the MSM says plenty without saying much—they don’t play. Assuming the position of the rogue hacktivist, their members take on big targets in business, government and even the Church of Scientology in an effort to hobble and expose them at the same time.

Here’s a glimpse of a new documentary that traces their origins and charts their missions, both online and in the analog world, and gets behind those Guy Fawkes masks. Presenting “We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists.”

Everything. Is. Wrong.

Don’t make this. Don’t portray something incorrectly;
that’s blasphemous.

I hope you Anonymous folks won’t punish me.

I plan to wait until this movie is on the Pirate Bay or some other filesharing community website.

I am not computer saavy, but I hope this film will help me to understand more about what you are all about, because I am a bit confused.

I also hope it is not too much of a self-congratulatory cheese-fest (which is the vibe I get from this preview). Anyhow, if it is, I probably won’t hold it against you. There is nothing wrong with giving yourself a pat on the back from time to time, as long as you don’t overdo it (Muhammad Ali excepted).

Cheers.
