The Human Face of Big Data

"The Human Face of Big Data" explores how the rapid emergence of digital devices has led to an unstoppable force changing human lives in ways from the microscopic to the gargantuan. The documentary delves into the real-time visualization of data streaming in from satellites, billions of sensors, and GPS-enabled cameras and smartphones, allowing us to sense, measure, and understand aspects of our existence in ways never possible before. It highlights how big data is helping to address some of humanity's biggest challenges, such as pollution, world hunger, and illness. However, as Edward Snowden's revelations have shown, the accessibility of all this data comes at a steep price - the loss of privacy. The film captures the promise and peril of this extraordinary knowledge revolution through interviews with dozens of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and journalists who are pioneering this space.
