I’m trying to compile a list of surveillance films for the SSN website (among other things).
So, what are your favourite surveillance films? ‘The Lives of Others’ wins hands down for me! Enemy of the State and The Matrix (the first one) are Hollywood’s best contributions…but anyone who knows me will realize that film isn’t my strong point.
Apols if this has been done before on the list but I had a quick search in our archives and couldn’t find anything. If you have a favourite documentary (e.g. Suspect Nation, for example) then please mention that too.
Thanks a lot
