The Cambridge Analytica scandal regarding their impact on the 2016 U.S. Presidential election is a spider-web of manipulation which The Great Hack takes a stab at unraveling. The documentary follows several key players, examining their role as well as what they believed others were doing. The result is a film that explains and adds details to the stories we had all seen on the news. At the same time, the apparent lack of ownership and responsibility by many of these same people almost does more than the film to explain how the scandal ever happened at all.
Being a documentary, there is little acting we know of in this one.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are fairly well done. Live filming was actually well done with steady shots and good framing. Interviews were decent with a fair amount of probing. Sound is solid.
If you have any interest in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, possible manipulation of the 2016. U.S. Presidential election, or how your personal data is collected and used by these people, check out The Great Hack.
Minor use of foul language but otherwise suitable for any audience.
