Synopsis
In the UK, human rights activist Muhammad Rabbani was initially held in custody - and then prosecuted under terror laws - when he refused to hand over his phone password after returning from Qatar. Looking into the top-secret British surveillance programme that underpinned his arrest, this film explores themes of technology, rights, digital privacy and structural racism.
