When we the people are called to show up in the streets over and over in growing numbers till the powers that enable Trump withdraw support and authoritarian dominoes fall, here's my 2013 conversation about Egypt's Arab spring. The documentary THE SQUARE puts you in Tahrir Square as revolution swirls around you. The film follows a handful of activists risking their lives to build a new society. Though the Muslim Brotherhood ultimately replaces one authoritarian rule with another, the protests ended Mubarak's 30 years of dictatorship. I speak with JEHANE NOUJAIM, Director, KARIM AMER, Producer, and KHALID ABDALLA, participant. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=2a6SLuVtiVU

"We don't have a client, we weren't here to move some legislative agenda item. We were here to kick the s**t out of Donald Trump." That's from veteran political consultant Rick Wilson talking in a new five part documentary about the groundbreaking SuperPac he and a handful of other Republican consultants founded called The Lincoln Project. The group raised nearly 90 million dollars during the 2020 election, using the cash to create devastating attack ads hammering Donald Trump and his MAGA allies. As election day approached two years ago, The Lincoln Project was getting tons of attention, and Wilson and his confederates were congratulating themselves on their ability to use their attack dog skills to stop the threat to democracy posed by the then President. But how effective really was The Lincoln Project? The documentary now airing on Showtime takes an unblinking look at the controversies surrounding the group and brings up important questions about what they say about the state of modern politics. We talk to the film makers Karim Amer and Fisher Stevens. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pedro Kos and Face2Face host David Peck talk about the new film Rebel Hearts, hypocrisy, patriarchy and institutions, reform and systemic change, movements and oppression, the power triangle, anti-intellectualism and why it’s so important to protest with joy.TrailerSee it at Hot Docs 2021 and find out more about the film here.Synopsis:In 1960s Los Angeles a trailblazing group of nuns, The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, bravely stood up to the patriarchy of the Catholic Church, fighting for equality, their livelihoods, and their own freedom against an all-powerful Cardinal who sought to keep them in their place. Their bold acts of faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside down, helping to reshape our society in ways that continue to resonate today. From marching in Selma in 1965 to the Women’s March in 2018, they challenged the notion of what a nun and a woman were supposed to be.These unlikely resistance fighters, including Anita Caspary, Helen Kelley, Pat Reif and iconic pop artist Corita Kent, were devoted to a life of service, not only to others but to themselves - forming a community that empowered each sister to live up to her fullest potential. Their desire to bring the church into modern life was met with forceful opposition at every turn. As each of them discovered their own talents and voices, they fully stepped into their roles as leaders in a movement that is still making waves.In the feature documentary REBEL HEARTS, director Pedro Kos combines incredible archival footage, stunning animation and two decades of interviews gathered by the film’s producer Shawnee Isaac-Smith, to beautifully illuminate the story of these incredible women.About Pedro:Most recently he wrote and produced Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer’s Netflix Original Documentary The Great Hack which premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for a Bafta award and shortlisted for an Academy Award.His feature directorial debut Bending The Arc premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. Previously, he edited Jehane Noujaim’s Academy Award nominee The Square which earned Pedro an Emmy Award for Best Editing for a Non-Fiction program, Lucy Walker’s Academy Award Nominee Waste Land and The Crash Reel (2013 SXSW Film Festival Audience Award winner), Jon Shenk’s The Island President (2011 TIFF Documentary People’s Choice Award winner) among others.Pedro is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and received his B.A. in Theater Directing from Yale University.Image Copyright and Credit: Rebel Hearts and Pedro KosF2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck and Face2Face.

If you watch the news, you know that justice eventually found the right people, but it’s not an easy journey.

If only he had watched the movie when he was seven years old, and seen how stupid, unscary, unwitty, and half-assed this boring, lazy movie is, he wouldn't have wasted another second being scared.

Hi everyone! For those of you outside the United States, or perhaps living under a rock within the United States, we’re currently going through a presidential primary campaign. It’s been a bumpy ride so far, with a lot of noise and very little substance. But it has also been driven, at least in part, by the lesson of the previous election cycle, which involved the use of Big Data to collect information on US voters. Up to 5,000 data points per voter. You all know how biased I am when it comes to US politics, so that’s why we’ve brought in Shane Hyde today to review THE GREAT HACK, as part of his Horror Stories series. Because some horror stories are real. For a few other reviews from Shane, check out THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (Episode #728), WOUNDS (Episode #694), and RUST CREEK (Episode #654) Before the review, we’ll have a quick promo from our good friend Kolby Told Me, one of our biggest supporters of the podcast last year, as demonstrated by his near domination of the Follow Friday boards. You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @kolbytoldme. And if you take up one of his recommendations, let everyone know that Kolby Told Me! Subscribe to stay current with the latest releases. Contribute at Patreon for exclusive content. Connect with us over social media to continue the conversation. Here we go! ///// > ///// Hi, I'm Shane Hyde, and while the world burns down around us I'm going to keep reviewing for One Movie Punch. And that's a fact! Today’s movie is THE GREAT HACK (2019), directed by Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim. This is one of those films that will pit Twitter user against Twitter user, Subreddit against Subreddit, Facebook grannies against 'woke' anti-Facebook pilgrims, Russian bots against other Russian bots. But no matter your political leaning, whatever label you choose for yourself, there's a story here and they're trying to tell it. The story focuses in on Brittany Kaiser, and through interviews and supporting characters and archive footage, it puts a framework that seems like it's asking you to feel sorry for Cambridge Analytica, their exposure, their role in the 2016 US Presidential Elections, the Brexit vote. They were hired to do a job, given data from Facebook and information about their targeted audiences, and they say in THIS FILM that they exploited psyops that should be regulated by the UK Government. But, you know, they exploited it anyway, and exposed the most vulnerable in the world's populations to seek a particular outcome. This is a film that aligned itself kinda with my left-leaning worldview, but then asked me to have sympathy for those involved at a personal level, and then asked me to consider the ramifications of these psychological operations at an international level. And I think it does these things well. Do I have sympathy? Well, no. Am I considering the impact psyops at an international level? Yes. But I fear I'm ill-equipped to deal with it. But we know there will be no satisfactory ending here although THE GREAT HACK attempts to wrap it up. There is no neat bow to go on top. We know now that Cambridge Analytica didn't survive the scandal (although they're still behaving in the same garbage way as another business). We know that Brittany Kaiser dramatically left England but didn't need to. And we know that there's been no real justice here, because there's been no real crime - despite military grade psyops being utilised against a civilian audience. This is a movie that should have us all outraged. It tells the story of our own data used against us to target us for our baser instincts. And the (attempted) undermining of democracy pursuant to a pound or two from the Brexit campaign. Instead I came away... well, tired. A bit over it all really. THE GREAT HACK feels like it underscores the fact that honesty and integrity are dead and this is the post-script. Last time I reviewed a documentary that was FYRE: THE GREATEST PARTY THAT NEVER HAPPENED (Episode #398) and I feel that was a more honest account than THE GREAT HACK. Since our world has devolved into a Bandersnatchian "Relax: 1/ Don't 2/ Do it" dichotomy, THE GREAT HACK is either telling us a small bit of a larger puzzle or diving into whack-job liberal conspiracy theories. You can't relax in THE GREAT HACK. They either did it. Or they didn't. And look at where we are today. Rotten Tomatoes: 88% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 67 One Movie Punch: 6.0/10 THE GREAT HACK (2019) is rated M and currently streams on Netflix.

A longtime Facebook executive has admitted the company's platform helped Donald Trump win the 2016 election, and it may happen again this year. In an internal memo, Facebook Vice President Andrew Bosworth wrote, “So was Facebook responsible for Donald Trump getting elected? I think the answer is yes.” Bosworth, who was a backer of Hillary Clinton in 2016, went on to write that the company should not change its policies in an effort to hurt Trump's re-election chances. In his memo, Bosworth referenced the role of the shadowy data firm Cambridge Analytica but downplayed its significance. However, a new Oscar-shortlisted documentary called “The Great Hack” argues Cambridge Analytica has played a significant role not just in the U.S. election but in elections across the globe. The company harvested some 87 million Facebook profiles without the users' knowledge or consent and used the data to sway voters during the 2016 campaign. We speak with the directors of “The Great Hack,” Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer, as well as former Cambridge Analytica employee Brittany Kaiser and propaganda researcher Emma Briant. The post “Democracy For Sale”: Cambridge Analytica & Big Tech's History of Manipulating Elections appeared first on KPFA.

On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome Karim Amer, Director of The Great Hack.  On his quest for digital justice, Parsons School of Design professor David Carroll joined us last year to discuss his suit against Facebook and Cambridge Analytica for violating his right to personal data. As we filmed our episode a Netflix crew surrounded us and trailed Carroll's journey. You can see part of our interview in the groundbreaking documentary directed by my guest today, Karim Amer. The Great Hack is a tour de force of the digital dystopia, law-breaking and anti-democratic realities of the Internet age. Amir explores how Cambridge Analytica exploited the demons of social media in the Brexit campaign and in the run up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Today we'll discuss the weaponization of the digital economy that preys on an increasingly vulnerable, misinformed; I think we must say too, dis-informed globe and it is exacerbating the greatest inequities society has perhaps witnessed.

Release date – 7/24/19 Bonus Episode – “The Great Hack” This bonus episode features a review of the new Netflix documentary The Great Hack – which opens today on the site – and an interview with its directors, Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim, from this year’s AFI DOCS film festival. The film discusses both the 2016 Brexit and 2016 U.S. presidential elections and how the public’s personal data was misused by the now-defunct political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica. It’s a visually exciting and dramatically gripping look at how social-media activity leads to the hacking of our brains. Sadly, this is also the first Fog of Truth episode done without our erstwhile colleague Summre Garber, who has left the podcast to pursue other opportunities. We miss her. Stay tuned for more information about the guest hosts that Chris Reed and Bart Weiss will invite onto the show for Season 7, which we plan to launch some time in September, after first recording one more bonus episode between now and then.   Group Review + Interview Documentary: THE GREAT HACK / 2019 (Directors: Karim Amer & Jehane Noujaim) Now playing on Netflix   Other Films Mentioned: The Interview / 2014 (Directors: Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen) The Square / 2013 (Director: Jehane Noujaim) Startup.com / 2001 (Directors: Chris Hegedus & Jehane Noujaim) Links to review/interview by Christopher Llewellyn Reed: Film Festival Today review of The Great Hack Film Festival Today interview with The Great Hack’s Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim Timestamps: 00:40 - Intro and Farewell to Summre 04:10 - Group Review of THE GREAT HACK 13:20 - Chris interviews Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim of THE GREAT HACK 31:25 - Closing   Website/Email: www.fogoftruth.com disinfo@fogoftruth.com   Credits: Artwork by Hilary Campbell Intro music by Jeremiah Moore Editing by Christopher Llewellyn Reed Transitional music by BELLS (thanks to Christopher Ernst)
