Some believe they are traitors, others mean they are defending democracy. The whistle-blowers are society's digital warriors. They are fighting against the surveillance in our increasingly technological world. Documentary filmmaker Cyril Tuschi has interviewed some of our most famous whistle-blowers, for example, David Ellsberg, Edward Snowden and Annie Machon. They give an answer to questions such as why they risk everything to do what they do, and can we call their cause for a patriotic duty? The secrets that the whistle-blowers reveal, do they harm or liberate their nation and its citizens? And what's wrong with the overall monitoring environment, in our current culture?
