  • An independent documentary dealing with surveillance and its acceptance by the general public through the “I have nothing to hide” argument.

Forced to accept their terms and conditions, they click away their privacy and grant access to their own personal data. To justify their compliance, most of the people usually repeat: “Anyway, I don’t interest anyone”, “Why would they look at me?” and finally “I have NOTHING TO HIDE”.
