Black Code – With the astronomical boom of the internet and social media over the last decade, Black Code explores what these societal and technological advancements mean for things like privacy, activism, and free speech.

Ultimately, the documentary proves that social media channels and the internet are far more influential than the average person recognizes. In Toronto and Vancouver theaters today.
