The Vine’s 7 Must-See Docos To Catch At Melbourne International Film Festival 2016

From Academy Award winning documentarian Alex Gibney that brought us 2007’s thrilling Taxi to the Dark Side, this time Gibney turns his investigative eye to the world of state-sponsored cyber warfare. In 2010, IT experts discovered the Stuxnet virus, which disabled enrichment centrifuges at Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant. The program was traced to a joint US–Israeli intelligence operation code named Olympic Games, which led to state-backed Iranian hackers retaliated by infecting the Bank of America with an equally devastating piece of malware. This resulted in corrupted systems all over the world, and in a few keystrokes, a Pandora’s box of cyber warfare was opened.
