KIM DOTCOM: CAUGHT IN THE WEB
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
​​
The larger-than-life story of Kim Dotcom, the “most wanted man online”, is extraordinary enough, but the battle between Dotcom and the US Government and entertainment industry, being fought in New Zealand, is one that goes to the heart of ownership, privacy and piracy in the digital age. Three years in the making, this independent film chronicles a spectacular moment in global online history, dubbed the ‘largest copyright case’ ever and the truth about what happened.
​
“The Dotcom case and the issues that surround it are at the centre of a global battle that will determine the future of the internet. New Zealand’s political and legal systems are at the front line.”
​
– David Fisher, New Zealand Journalist and Author
​
“Powerful … Goldson pulls together an extraordinary amount of material, including some jaw-dropping police footage of a raid on Kim’s mansion. She doesn’t judge, but there is certainly more than one villain in her film.”
