The Internet has long been an integral part of our lives. With the help of the World Wide Web, we draw the necessary information, plan our leisure time, communicate, work. It would seem that we know almost everything about him. However, many aspects of such a useful invention are far from being so unambiguous, and the events with its formation can make even the most inveterate skeptics think. We have collected five documentaries that will allow you to look at the Internet from a completely different angle.

How often do you read the license agreements you accept? I think no. In most cases, millions of people tick off a long line of text without looking. But such an agreement is quite legal and is no different from an agreement with a notary. From this film you will learn how your data can be used, even if you do not hide anything, how a game company has captured the souls of more than 7 thousand people, whether the programs and applications that we are used to using are free and why large companies constantly change default settings in their services.
Producer: Choi Jin-seong
Korean investigative film shows the other side of the anonymity of social networks and instant messengers. The film tells about the mass distribution of child pornography inside anonymous chat rooms. You will witness the shocking details of the sexual harassment and moral destruction of teenagers in what seems to be one of the most controlled countries in the world. Why has the South Korean police been inactive for so long? How did the victims get hooked? How was the capture of the elusive cybercriminal named “Doctor” organized? The film “Hell on the Web” will tell about this in great detail.

Now the image of a hacker in a Guy Fawkes mask causes most laughter or skepticism. The so-called Anonymous are mostly seen as a bunch of bullies in school who feel unpunished when they are on the other side of the monitor. This film will tell about how the group of hacktivists was born, what goals they pursued while hiding on the net, and how the inhabitants of the 4chan forum declared themselves to the whole world by becoming a cult community on a planetary scale.

Thor, Dark Web, Deep Web. All these terms are associated with something illegal and forbidden. However, the appearance of the Silk Road store gave a negative connotation to this Internet phenomenon. The store openly distributing the product of death has become a daring spit in the face of the state and the public. How did the creators of the largest drug network affect the fate of Internet security, and does it exist at all? What was the cost of capturing the creator of Silk Road and what principles did he adhere to? Tell the “Deep Web”, which forever changed the Internet.
Do not think that the Internet is a place filled with cruelty and deceit. This will be reminded of a truly unique film, to which Ridley Scott himself had a hand. This film is not about the Internet, but without it, it could not exist. This beautiful, touching and large-scale story unites thousands of people from different parts of the world. They all recorded videos on the same day in which they answer three simple questions.
Some films may contain names, images and references to Meta products (an organization recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation).
