| Summary |
Raw docos telling real life stories like you've never seen them. A SLICE of life, one week at a time. The Internet dates more quickly than almost any other contemporary cultural signifier. This is what gave The Social Network much of its leverage: that it was a period film about things that had happened six or seven years previously. Swedish director Simon Klose's absorbing, stirringly indignant but also rather melancholic documentary about the industry speared decline and fall of the world's biggest file sharing website has a similar effect. Torrents? File-sharing? The Pirate Bay? It all feels like ancient history. Which proves the documentary's main point: that in the end, a system with an unlimited appetite and budget for litigation won out against the cyber libertarians.TPB AFK centres on attempts to keep the pirate file-sharing ship afloat by finding new hosts, new secure sites, sympathetic hosts.
