Independent films wedged between a largely corporatized national news media and a blockbuster-driven SOPA-supporting Hollywood often face an uphill battle making their budget back. Due to a huge number of requests for the incredible Michael Byzewski designed poster from the film, we've decided to do a print run and sell some here to help with the costs.

We are also very excited to start offering preorders on the DVD and BluRay. The DVD and BluRay will be available after our theatrical run on November 23rd and in addition to the full film (with 5.1 surround sound) the DVD and BluRay will include an additional 22 minutes of material. The extras will have extended in depth interviews with some of our film's subjects, some prominent hackers not featured in the documentary, more analysis and thoughts on Wikileaks, further discussion about Anonymous member-turned-FBI informant Sabu, and thoughts from tech author and speaker Richard Thieme on how technology is re-wiring our brains and why we need to nurture our "dark side."

Proceeds from sales are going to the finishing, print costs, theater costs and further distribution of We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists. In the spirit of the film should we make back our costs, we are donating ten percent of profits to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. We are also donating another portion to Free Anons and to other human rights, or technology groups we think are behaving well defending human rights or freedom of speech in a digital age and we will continue to make disruptive documentaries about compelling stories and people we think are re-shaping our world. Thank you for supporting independent film!
