This is late. Very late. As of this note, there is only about 64 hours left to donate to this project, if you are so inclined. This documentary film is being independently produced with funds from individuals ("crowdsourcing.") Though centered around the life of the incredible Birgitta Jónsdóttir, the documentary is specifically about her current work: helping to create safe haven in Iceland for cyber privacy, and attempting to extend that worldwide.
From the film's producer:
THE MOUSE THAT ROARED, based in Iceland, investigates one of the most pressing challenges in the world today—how do we extend the hard-won rights of democratic societies into the digital space where most of our communication now takes place?
Through our character-driven documentary featuring Birgitta Jonsdóttír—poet, Buddhist, activist, single mom, and elected member of the Icelandic Parliament—we explore the question, “is the Internet to become what WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange calls 'most significant surveillance machine that we have ever seen,' or will it be a platform for innovation, creativity, community building and justice?"
Here is where you can read more, and donate to the project:
