Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Raza's original video was filmed in 2002 but didn't explode until 2003; the 15-month delay between creation and virality feels almost quaint now.
The 'right to be forgotten' legal framework Raza advocates for exists in EU law but remains unprotected in the US—this documentary is essentially his American case.
