I actually watched this on December 6th, 2017.. I was looking for something else in my “Media I want to Consume” spreadsheet and ran into this..
Anyway, I did a review but never published it. I often add movies, shows etc to a spreadsheet so I can watch later.. The following is what I wrote about it in 2017… Almost exactly to the hour. Strange, isn’t it?

Review:
The narrator talked about and interviewed some people who lived in Green Bottom, WV. Apparently they were very sensitive to frequencies, to the point of being in pain. They could only find relief in Green Bottom. Some of the interview almost looked scripted… like they were acting. Internet addiction was also discussed, a treatment center was mentioned. It also appeared to be rehearsed and scripted.
The world famous hacker Kevin Mitnick was interviewed. He talked about meta data and how he used it to track the FBI. He said “It doesn’t matter how much money a company spends on technology, tens of thousands of dollars on your firewall, intrusion detection systems, on spam, on anti-vurus…. if I could manipulate just one person – I’m in” So in other words, if someone who knows what they are doing wants to spy on you, they will find a way.
He also says, “People are the weakest link in security, not technology” He explained how he the crown jewels of Motorola were handed right over to him in fifteen minutes, via one of the techs in charge of security no less, just by using his gift of gab. People truly are the weakest link.
One part of the documentary which I found especially interesting was a commercial from 1973 touting that there would be space stations by the year 2000 where thousands of people would live. Of course it never happened.
After the commercial they went on to talk about SpaceX and interviewed Elon Musk of Paypal fame. He discussed how the internet could be developed on Mars… if people were ever to live there.
