WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists (Leaked)
WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists, takes us inside the complex culture and history of Anonymous. The film explores early hacktivist groups like Cult of the Dead Cow and Electronic Disturbance Theater, and then moves to Anonymous’ own raucous and unruly beginnings on the website 4Chan.
Through interviews with current members – some recently returned from prison, others still awaiting trial – as well as writers, academics and major players in various “raids,” WE ARE LEGION traces the collective’s breathtaking evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown, global movement, one armed with new weapons of civil disobedience for an online world.
This film was leaked on YouTube and it is a very old version of the film that was sent to a festival in Italy over 6-7 months ago. Since it is an early rough cut of the film it has inaccuracies, incomplete visuals and lacks a lot of attribution for materials we received from people helping with the film. It is also lacking a huge amount of material and content. Anon has been busy, and obviously has experienced some interesting revelations, during that time. The official release has 5-6 more interviews, a deeper analysis of Anonymous and the culture, and a vastly broadened set of visuals and story.
Although this film was leaked, we hope you see the official version which will be in theaters in New York and LA on October 19th, and online October 30th.

haha they ever showed up on UK streets theyd get turned fucking over like irrelevant socialite slummers they are
And i’d take it that your conservative outlook on things makes you a right-wing extremist scumbag, plus your “UK streets” is a culture flooded by class discrimination and your bourgeois attitude
They just may be the ones to save your sorry ass from what is coming, from what is planned for us. Instead of being part of the problem, how about stepping up to the plate and be part of the solution.
If you only knew the power of the dark side.
I used to think that the mass ignorance was bad in continental Europe. then, because of my debts to swedish bankers and the hammerheads in the government who ruined our “walking dead” economics even more, I moved to UK. oh, now I know what “mass ignorance” really stands for. eat, sleep, work (or not, just get fat living on the benefit money), don’t give a damn about anything but football and getting s*it-faced on a friday night. “what’s a cricket? is that an exotic spice?”
Nice trolling
Well said from a Brit. that spends life as a commoner
Go to parliament, London, on the 5th of December. Watch as everyone remains un-’turned fucking over’.
Not all of the UK (or the world for that matter) is as illusional as you, fortunately.
it’s all such bullshit, i want out of society, i’m sick and tired of all this crap, i’m getting a bazooka and a guard dog and running for the hills
I am not Anonymous. I support Anonymous.
This is probably the most engaging film I have seen this year, in the UK the media is full of shit and has little or no coverage of the awesome work, anon, 4chan, lulz and the other groups have done, big respect to Julian Asange too, the mans a legend
We all need to look at the cause of all our Nations problems. the majority of MPs are landlords and the house of Lords speaks for itself, who many hours a week do you have to work to finance the landlords investments. you wont know, because you have never worked out how much they get. get your hair cut, car fixed, buy a loaf of bread, We have to rid society of these parasites before we can even think of a better life.
