Yana S @YanaS92 Apr 4, 2026 The Great Hack is a chilling documentary about Cambridge Analytica and the unsettling reality of how our personal data can be used to influence not just what we buy, but what we think and believe. What makes it so powerful is how clearly it shows that we are not just users of social media — we are the product. The film breaks down how data from millions of people was collected, analyzed, and turned into psychological tools capable of shaping political opinions and even impacting elections. It honestly feels less like a documentary and more like a psychological thriller, except everything you’re watching actually happened. What stayed with me the most is how invisible all of this is. You don’t see it, you don’t feel it, but it’s happening in the background of your everyday scrolling. It makes you question how much of your opinion is truly your own. It’s uncomfortable, eye-opening, and incredibly important. One of those films that genuinely changes the way you see the digital world.

Great visuals that captures the signs of our informants' transformation from being accomplices. Sharp visual effects and aound effects. Great Hack is both informative and dramatic making it worth your time.

Some interesting parts, but way too drawn out with very little keep any of our attention. See more Jose Raul B @RT00670782 Nov 19, 2023 Nice documentary. It shows an accurate radiography of what happens inside the Big-Tech companies and the business with our data. See more David F @dfulmer Aug 23, 2023 A really interesting documentary about the way that social media and advertising were used in the 2016 presidential election. It doesn't completely get to the bottom of it (and I wish it had more detailed information about what exactly Cambridge Analytica was up to) but nevertheless a very informative documentary about the way we live now. I especially appreciated the emotionally revealing confessions of Brittany Kaiser, a social media executive who got her start working for Obama and ended up with the Trump campaign. The brief story she tells about her family getting swept out of their home by the global financial crisis and the disparate pay on offer from her from Democrats and Republicans says a lot and really gets to the heart of the matter both in her life, and in our politics.
