The Great Hack
The Great Hack is a 2019 documentary film about the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The film was produced and directed by Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer, both previous documentary Academy Award nominees (The Square, Control Room, Startup.com). The film’s music was composed by Emmy-nominated film composer Gil Talmi. It premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and was released by Netflix on July 24, 2019. Cambridge Analytica’s former CEO Alexander Nix was exposed on Channel 4 as claiming to have 5,000 data points on every American voter.
Professor David Carroll took notice and filed a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) of the UK. SCL was fined £15,000 for a lack of compliance with the ICO. Also, Facebook paid £500,000 for a “lack of transparency and security issues” in the related scandal.
