Reviews
Eye-opening and at times slightly muddled...
The powerful moments, however, are too often surrounded by dead narrative weight.
Another valuable film about the digital war on privacy.
Phantom Parrot sheds light on the Orwellian technologies being used across borders to repress activists, journalists, and others.
