시놉시스
Microsoft is generally considered the dinosaur of the digital age. However, the US Corporation is more powerful today than ever before. The power of its monopoly is nowhere more apparent than in Europe: from Finland to Portugal, from Ireland to Greece, the information technology of every state administration and its institutions (military, police, fiscal authorities etc.) is based on Microsoft programmes. Since digital systems are constantly expanding and increasing in importance, countries are becoming more and more dependent on this single company. This dependence causes continually rising costs and prevents technical progress in state authorities. It systematically undermines European procurement and competition laws, it leads inevitably to the company having an overwhelming political influence, while it exposes state IT systems along with citizens’ data to a high technical and political security risk. Is Europe’s digital sovereignty at stake?

1950~60년대 담배회사는 흡연의 위험성을 알고 있었으나 부정으로 일관했다. 대중이 담배 문제를 인식하기 시작하자 담배 회사들은 전략을 취했다. 기업의 후원을 받는 극소수 과학자들이 과학계의 지배적인 견해에 의혹을 제기하고, 과학적 근거가 결여된 업계의 주장을 포장하여 언론을 통해 여전히 논쟁 중인 사안처럼 보이게 한 것이다. 오늘날 지구 온난화 논쟁에서도 담배 논쟁과 동일한 수법이 쓰이고 있으며, 기업의 용병 역할을 하는 과학자들 역시 동일한 인물이다. 담배 회사를 위해 일했던 저명한 과학자 프레더릭 싱어와 프레드 사이츠는 지구 온난화의 위험성을 주장하는 과학자들 공격에 앞장섰다. 반공주의 자들이자 자유시장주의자인 이들은 시장에 대한 정부의 모든 규제에 반대했으며, 냉전 이후 환경주의자들을 새로운 적으로 상정했다. 대다수 과학자들은 지구 온난화를 과학적 사실로 인정하며, 인간의 활동에 의한 것임이 밝혀졌다고 결론 내리고 있지만, 이들의 활약으로 인해 과학계에서 여전히 논쟁 중인 이슈처럼 여겨지는 것이다.

In the film we meet activists and thinkers who are fighting for better cities, who refuse to stop riding despite the increasing number killed in traffic.
