Through The Lens

Synopsis: 

London, near future. The internet is restricted and policed by a private organisation called the Internet Protection Agency (IPA) who operate above the law. Hackers are regarded as terrorists and disappear daily.

The film’s narrative follows Anthony who has interrupted his studies at university to look after his younger sister Sam after the disappearance of their parents.

Anthony and Sam’s parents were part of a group of politically motivated hackers called ‘The Movement’ that has been targeted by the IPA. Key players in the The Movement have been arrested in an attempt to stop leaked files from the IPA archives, documenting evidence of its brutal restrictive practices, being made accessible to the general public.

When Anthony lands a job working in the records room at the IPA, he begins to discover the untold story behind his parents’ disappearance.
