p_hackers_m601494.jpg After around 8.30pm each evening, Maori Television morphs into an analogue of Australia's SBS, screening various arthouse films and general documentaries. Tonight at 8.30pm there's a doco that looked promising in trailers: In the Realm of The Hackers (2003), a well-regarded ABC (as in Aussie ABC) dramatic reconstruction about two disaffected teens in late 80s Melbourne who stole a restricted computer security list. The pair broke into some of the world's most (supposedly) secure systems, and soon had the US Secret Service and FBI on their tails. Seems well worth checking out.
