Virtual Revolution Dr Aleks Krotoski
"This two part documentary looks at how our lives have been re shaped by the invention of The World Wide Web over twenty years ago.

They explore the struggle between technological freedom and the drive for control and profit and examine how the Web is politicising young people and encouraging direct action while enabling hard line states to spy and censor. "
