In the early 1990s a group of mathematicians misfits hackers and hobbyists came together around a shared belief that the internet would either

cryptography as a weapon against central planning and surveillance in this new virtual world.
The national security agency declared the unrestrained public discussion of cryptographic research threatened
national security.
The cypherpunks saw it as the critical fork in the road for the future of human freedom.
This documentary delves into the fascinating story of a movement that foresaw both the promise and peril of the internet era. It explores how these visionaries sought to build a world where human freedom could thrive, despite the challenges that lay ahead. Watch this captivating film to learn more about the cypherpunks' journey and their lasting impact on our digital society.
