In the digital world of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), creative utopias collide with the harsh reality of digitalization. Sandra Trostel's documentary accompanies events of Europe's largest hacker association and shows how hacker culture meets the challenges of modern societies. The focus is not only on technical know-how, but also on social issues such as freedom, transparency and self-determination. With her unique concept as a “documentary adventure game”, the director provides immersive access to the world of hackers and nerds. Financed by crowdfunding and released under a Creative Commons license, the film not only promotes free access to knowledge, but also shows how collaborative projects can shape our digital future. The impressive music by Thies Mynther, including the song “Heaven Can't Wait”, which was rehearsed with around 200 participants, reflects the creative spirit of the community. The film has been shown at various festivals, including Filmfest Hamburg, DOK Leipzig and the Ars Electronica Festival, and has received much praise for its transmedia approach and innovative view of digital society.
