The final episode of the interactive documentary series Do Not Track goes online today at donottrack-doc.com. Entitled To Change the Future, Click Here, the episode is directed by award-winning Canadian documentary filmmaker and web producer Brett Gaylor, and written by French researcher in prospective geopolitics and author Virginie Raisson. It features several web experts, including blogger, journalist, SF writer and technology activist Cory Doctorow, and Danah Boyd, founder and president of the Data & Society Research Institute.
To Change the Future, Click Here shows how where we live, what we do, where we go and what we say online is shaping the Internet of tomorrow. Choosing to protect our privacy online today will dramatically shape the future of our digital lives. What options do we have to shape the future, and which one are we going to choose?
The seven-part Do Not Track series is conceived and directed by Brett Gaylor (RiP: A Remix Manifesto). It is an eye-opening look at how online behaviour is being tracked, analyzed and sold―an issue affecting each of us, and billions of web users around the world. Viewers who agree to share their personal data get an astounding real-time look at how their online ID is being tracked. The series premiered in April at the Tribeca Film Festival and received a special jury mention in the Interactive category at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival, held June 5 to 10, as well as a German Online Communication Award.
Episodes of the documentary are offered in four language versions: English, French, French Canadian and German. The complete series can now be viewed and is approximately one hour in length.
Do Not Track is produced by the Paris-based production company Upian; the National Film Board of Canada; French/German public broadcaster Arte; and German public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk. Distribution partners are Radio-Canada (Canada) and the digital news channel AJ+ (U.S.).
