TOTAL TRUST

Over the past twenty years, China has continuously leveraged smart technology to build a new world under big data surveillance, with this trend accelerating during the pandemic era. From setting up hundreds of millions of SkyNet systems to promoting nationwide community grid management and actively implementing the social credit system, each step has strengthened social control. This film closely follows three human rights cases, capturing the lives of a human rights lawyer and his family, as well as a fearless independent journalist, offering a glimpse into the terrifying daily reality of 24/7 surveillance by an authoritarian government.
