The Listening
The story is fiction. The technology is real.
Directed by Giacomo Martelli
Produced by EchoFilm, Ammo Films
A cerebral, paranoia-laden thriller about institutional betrayal and surveillance that trades action for ideological tension and moral ambiguity.
Estranged by the degree of corporate influence within the largest U.S. listening station in the world, an aging NSA officer defects and mounts a clandestine counter-listening station high in the Italian alps.
