By the end of the documentary Dotcom has separated from his wife and lost millions trying to oust John Key in the New Zealand general election. In the era of Trump and Assange, this is sure to be only a temporary setback. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a very informative expose.I love these types of documentaries. It gives insight into surveillance that can at times be conducted in an illegal manner. It showed how some politicians can be untruthful and use any and all means at their disposal to charge , extradite and incarcerate people. Good stuff. The guy is a criminal , but thed issue goes way beyond that. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting film about Kim Dotcom's story story and his fight for freedom for the internet Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Best documentary i have seen in a long time.
