The Cleaners

Documentary


 

Who determines what can be put up and what must be taken down? A look at the people behind the screens who are charged with censoring online content.

"The Cleaners" is a dark and despairing documentary. It's unsettling because it tries to depict the full story of what's involved and the toll on those tasked with cleaning and all they must watch. Then there are the political implications and the standards that vary country to country. Interesting questions are raised. As this shadowy world is revealed we're left with talking points, ideas that warrant further discussion. A dirty job but someone's got to do it.
