The documentary takes up the rise of the information age. The account follows that rise through events. It tells it through people as well. Some of them built the system. Others played with it. The film counts both as part of the same story. Security and privacy are inside the account. It asks what it means to stay human in a connected world. The title of the film comes from a frequency. The tone of twenty six hundred megahertz was the key to getting into the telephone network. Those who speak come from the technical field. Lorrie Cranor and Jennifer Granick are among them. Phil Lapsley and Gideon Lenkey are in the film too. The account moves towards the questions of the present. Jeremy Zerechak’s American documentary of 2011 runs eighty two minutes.
