SUNDAY SCREENING: ‘Surveillance Capitalism’ (2019)

Our weekly documentary curated by our editorial team at 21WIRE.

What is surveillance capitalism? Harvard professor Shoshana Zuboff, author of “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism,” reveals how Silicon Valley tech firms harvest and sell our data. This film takes the lid off Google and Facebook and reveals a merciless form of capitalism in which no natural resources, but the citizen itself, serves as a raw material.
