Apple, Google, Facebook... The new masters of the world

You search the Internet, you communicate via social networks, you use new applications every day that simplify your life, but do you know the hidden reality behind this flourishing industry? Are you aware that in return, these wonderful tools monitor you, or even manipulate you? Their names are Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin or Larry Page. Names that may not mean anything to you. However, these Americans, some of whom are not yet forty years old, are among the richest and most powerful men on the planet. What do they have in common? They created today's world thanks to an unprecedented technological revolution: the Internet and social networks. Former visionary teenagers who became the leaders of the largest companies in the sector – Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft – they now possess a new kind of power... The power to control the communications of the entire planet and to store everyone's private information. A highly coveted power, which has sometimes led them into dangerous liaisons with secret services or governments, particularly American ones. Today, their economic power allows them to free themselves ever more from borders, states and commercial logic. A stranglehold on the world and a growing independence that raises questions. From the launch of the first personal computers in the 1960s to the advent of a new world in which digital plays a central role, this documentary tells the epic story of these men, often on the fringes of their contemporaries, but who have managed to change the world with major projects worthy of science fiction and who, today, have become stronger than states. Directed by Yannick Adam de Villiers
