The Whole World Is Watching
Animal rights activists carrying cameras into public spaces, and the legal pushback they run into, drive this film's inquiry into what citizen journalists are actually allowed to photograph. Anita Krajnc, Ian Willms, Will Potter, Brett Gundlock, and Laura Murray speak on camera about being told to put their phones away, confronted by police, or threatened with legal action simply for documenting what they saw, and the film walks through what Canadian law actually permits when it comes to shooting in public and posting the results online, noting where those rules track differently elsewhere. A wider circle of activists and photographers appears throughout without dialogue, giving the film the texture of a movement rather than a handful of case studies. The practical thread running underneath the legal one is blunt: know the rules before someone tries to bluff you out of your rights, because digital cameras and social media sharing are treated here as some of the most effective tools activists currently have.
