  A fascinating documentary on one of those early examples of Web 2.0 going awry. The subject of the documentary, whose life was severely impacted by the sudden infamy caused by having a video uploaded without his consent, is someone mostly forgotten, but not completely: the internet doesn't forget. The documentary goes beyond just being a sort of "Where are they now?" episode on an early viral video sensation to examine our changing relationship with internet content creation, sharing, and consumption; it is hard to believe how much has changed in less than twenty years. It is also an emotional, compelling story. Bravo!

  Not only is this a stunning documentary about issues so central to our lives these days, it is also a shining example of excellence in film (video?) making. The structure, cinematography, sound design and the technical skills are exemplary. I hope it does well on the awards circuits, but even more, I would like to see it grow in reach and audience. Once more the question, "What good is the NFB?" is answered by the quality of the work which says to others that try as they might they probably are never going to be as good as the best of the NFB.

  Gave me a lot to think about this so-called brave new media we’re all living in. Très bien fait. Merci!

  Fascinating. I remember this clearly and it's terrible what Ghyslain had to endure. Really, he just wanted to be an alien or something, and his dreams just got shat on like Ashley Blue in some underground skin flick.
