Unit 42

Cinema

„Unit 42“ ran 2018 in the festival cinema program.

Not only "Mr. Robot" and "Hackerville" are discovering the world of cybercrime for themselves, but also the Belgians, who are following up a series of high-class crime stories ("Public Enemy," "The Break," "Salamander") with "Unit 42," another highlight: The series follows the unequal investigator couple Sam and Billie into a criminal underworld whose deeds mostly take place behind screens. In the process, they learn not only to trust each other, but also to recognize that behind every cyber crime lies an often all-too-human story.

Belgian production "Unit 42" follows a cyber crime unit as it dives into the virtual world by way of a very unique duo: Sam, a former cop, newly transferred and not quite connected, and Billie, a young spirited policewoman who is a programming expert.
