In the spirit of India's moon mission, here's a space drama that you can feast your eyes on this week. Season 1 of Another Life drops on Netflix this week, following a space mission to track down the origin of an alien artefact that has landed on earth. It appears to have a similar vibe to some of the shows from the late 90s and early 2000s, like Andromeda, Firefly and Stargate SG-1, as well as shows like Dark Matter,the report said.
This documentary has a powerful and learning message about the way we have lost control of our personal data and how it is now being used to manipulate us and fuel the rise of authoritarian regimes around the world. This is a must-see film for anyone who uses social media and cares about democracy. The film focuses on the way the marriage of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm whose founders included former Brietbart CEO Steve Bannon, helped make Donald Trump's presidency and Brexit possible in the US and UK.
