TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard
2013 Feature Length Documentary
Opening film Berlinale Panorama, SXSW, HotDocs, Sheffield DocFest, CPH:Dox, Beijing, Taiwan International Documentary Festival, Festival do Rio De Janeiro, Reykjavík International Film Festival
I spent five years documenting the fierce legal battle between the entertainment industry and The Pirate Bay’s founders. Even a decade after the film’s release, I think the story underscores a larger debate on digital rights, free access, and intellectual property in the internet age.
