The New Radical
Available on Pluto TV, Philo, Tubi TV
America is waking up to a new reality: downloadable, printable guns. Cody Wilson is fighting the U.S. government to make his vision of guns for everyone real. At the same time, he works with British anarchist Amir Taaki on a Bitcoin app that allows its users to "go dark”. For this pair of crypto-anarchists, ensuring freedom of information and challenging economic structures they view as corrupt is mandatory. Adam Lough glimpses a rarified world, where these new radicals revel in questioning everything from gun control to encryption, even if it means incarceration. Yet the question remains: Are they freedom fighters or criminals? This captivating encounter examines how their distinct group came about and what their existence says about the economic, cultural, and technological landscape. Also featuring Julian Assange.
