This eye-opening documentary investigates the strange case of Anonymous hacktivist Matt DeHart, who fled the US to seek asylum in Canada after law enforcement brought charges against him for child pornography. But DeHart countered that he was framed, targeted for his support of Wikileaks, and that he was tortured in a US prison. Unfolding like a spy mystery, the film follows a multiyear quest for truth, with unexpected twists and turns until the very end. Executive produced by Errol Morris.

Watch Trailer

"Provocative and disturbing."

— Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

"A shocking documentary that's amazing at every turn."

— Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com

"This is a documentary that carefully, meticulously builds a case and then blindsides the viewer with revelations, second thoughts and fresh evidence that makes you reconsider everything you thought was certain."

— Allan Hunter, Screen Daily

"The result is an extraordinary, unsettling documentary that's just as much about DeHart's devoted parents-former Army linguists who became convinced of their son's persecution by the FBI-as it is about a young hacker and information activist..."

— Jacob Silverman, The New Republic

"Enemies of the State is a chilling watch, both for what it contemplates and for the internal path that each viewer will take while experiencing it. That some will come away from the film unwilling to accept its conclusions merely proves the film’s point. Without ever announcing itself as such, the film brilliantly dissects the way that conspiracy theories work and why they're so irresistible."

— Alonso Duralde, TheWrap

"Enemies of the State is powered by a sense of momentum – it’s a story filled with unexpected twists and turns, and not just in terms of 'plotting.' Kennebeck finds herself wrestling with the prickly proposition of unraveling where, exactly, the truth lies; it’s the job of any good documentary filmmaker, of course, but in this particular case, it’s a journey of discoveries and often disturbing ones."

— Jason Bailey, The Playlist
