Publication dealing with the ethical implications of rare diseases
Víctor Grífols i Lucas Foundation and the Catalan Film Academy are organising two film sessions and debates for secondary school students with the documentary "Diary of my sextorsion".
This documentary explores the ransomware attack suffered by the protagonist. After the theft of her laptop, a hacker tries to extort money from her, threatening to share some very intimate photos with her contacts. Faced with the ineffectiveness of the police and the legal system, the protagonist embarks upon an investigation of the dangers associated with private data in today's society. The documentary questions our apparent sense of security with respect to our personal data, contrasted with the vulnerability of our situation.
The debate will feature Patrícia Franquesa, director of the documentary, and Núria Terribas, director of the Víctor Grífols i Lucas Foundation.
Sessions:
24 April. Caldes de Montbui
16 de maig. Parets del Vallès
