Surveillance – The Geo Pal

In this fantastic documentary, PBS deconstructs the values, approaches, and realities of the modern world of social media. This mini-doc reveals the current consumer culture is completely based off of the way we interact with each other online. It is only loosely based with topics in the HL extension (Surveillance, for example), but it is an eye-opening documentary that anyone who participates in social media should watch.

This article on medium.com and written by Fábio Esteves does a good job of summarising the importance of privacy in the modern age. I am using this to form a discussion with my HL students in the hacking, identity theft and surveillance section of the Global Interactions part of the syllabus.
