Why do data protection activists bother? What do they seek to achieve and who supports them? Their opponents, as their allies, often are in unexpected positions. The film explores the world of a community of well-connected activists who, with cleverness, wit and persistence, stand up to presumed almighty opponents. They are concerned with nothing less than the protection of privacy, the freedom of expression and therewith, democracy itself. And thanks to Edward Snowden we today know: US Secret Services can use the PRISM-program to spy on European users of Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon & Co.
