After one of the world’s most prestigious festivals, the Tribeca Festival, awarded Hacking Hate as the best documentary, the film has become a hot topic leading up to its Swedish premiere in January. This dystopian internet thriller follows journalist My Vingren, who has spent years exposing the spread of hate online by far-right groups. Despite significant risks to her own safety, My creates a series of fake social media profiles to infiltrate and connect with those recruiting for various far-right movements. In her investigation, she also shines a light on the major tech companies that lack transparency in how they profit from extremism.
This timely and unsettling film explores digital undercover work—a dystopian thriller-documentary that has received international acclaim and quickly sold out during the Stockholm Film Festival earlier this fall.
