Cybercrimes with Ben Hammersley (2014)

Cybercrimes with Ben Hammersley is a welcome documentary in that Ben makes a personable presentation of the essential facts and settings in each of six episodes, even to the point of sitting “in the very spot” where one sinister plot had been set in motion from a cyber café. It is just a bit dry – that is, the subject matter and script (actual words said), not Ben’s acerbic British dialect (how they are said). I appreciate the journalistic approach he takes, even to the point of globetrotting from San Francisco to DC to Nigeria. However, it is just not a Bob Cringely or Steve Jobs documentary. 3.5 stars.
