Surveilled: Ronan Farrow on Phones, Spyware, & the State

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist RONAN FARROW uncovers the proliferation of spyware in his latest documentary, Surveilled, highlighting the vulnerabilities created by our cell phones. DOC NYC describes, “In a gripping chase, Farrow travels across the world following breadcrumbs and finally exposing a dark world of spyware, hacking, and peddling of private information, where activists and journalists are persecuted, and no one is protected from the watchful and vicious eyes of authoritarianism.”

Ronan Farrow is a contributing writer to The New Yorker, where his investigative reporting has won the Pulitzer Prize for public service, the National Magazine Award, and the George Polk Award, among other honors. His stories for The New Yorker exposed the first sexual-assault allegations against the movie producer Harvey Weinstein and the first misconduct allegations against CBS executives, including then C.E.O. Leslie Moonves. He was also responsible for the first detailed accounts of payments made by the National Enquirer’s parent company in order to suppress stories about Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential campaign.
