E3: The Notorious D.P.F.K.S.
Journalist Ida Herskind is working at a Danish newspaper when she comes across a story that stops her cold: it’s about a porn video that looks real — but isn’t. And the woman in it never consented. As Ida starts digging she discovers the top hit for this kind of material is a single site: MrDeepFakes.com. Determined to do something for the thousands of women targeted there, she teams up with Zakaria Hameed, an open-source intelligence specialist, and the team at the hot shot investigative outlet Bellingcat. Together, they set out to answer a question no one has cracked: who is Mr. Deepfakes, really? Featuring: Ida Herskind, Zakaria Hameed, Ross Higgins
