About the Case-Study Documentary Film
Toronto-based documentary filmmaker and cinematographer Nicholas De Pencier (Four Wings and a Prayer, Watermark) examines the complex global impact that the internet has had on matters of free speech, privacy and activism. This documentary examines how governments are manipulating the internet to control their citizens. The objective of this project is to leverage the film as a case study in the field of technology and internet in law, business and government practices. This includes ethical considerations related to privacy law, confidentiality of information, security, cybersecurity, Big data, machine learning and AI, as well as productivity and efficiency of professional services for legal and business professionals.
This CPE/CPD program will qualify as a learning activity for Lawyers in Ontario (as 2 hours of Professionalism Content), Chartered Professional Accountants, Chartered Financial Analysts, Certified Fraud Examiners and may also be a qualified learning activity for other business professionals.
