Netizens Film Poem

When will online harassment stop?

Anger keeps rising to the top.

Three women fight the internet.

But changing laws is hard to get.

“Netizens” shows justice denied

for women who are crucified

upon the cross of free speech taunts,

revenge websites, and other haunts.

A film that matters to us all,

“Netizens” boasts an urgent call

to understand the suffering

the “wild west” internet can bring.

On September 23, Netizens, directed and written by  Cynthia Lowen, is launching a multi-city screening tour, bringing the documentary to theaters in select cities across the United States, along with panels and Q&A’s with the director, subjects and experts. These screenings seek to engage the public about internet privacy and safety, and catalyze constructive responses from policymakers, law enforcement and tech companies. These community events screenings are supported by a robust suite of online tools to equip audiences to protect themselves and prevent harassment. Cities and dates are below.
