Owned & Operated is a mosaic of the world through the lens of the internet. Showing our lives as consumers, under the thumbs of privileged individuals and their methods of control. But the world is awakening, and the experience is something outside the normal rules of social interaction, causing excitement in those who are not served by the current system... and fear in those who are pampered by it. This documentary attempts to present these events using the video, audio and written content uploaded to the internet by the collective human consciousness comprised of every individual participant.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Relic is a pseudonym—no verified identity exists for this director, fitting the film's themes perfectly.
Released pre-Snowden (2012), the film's paranoia became mainstream discourse just one year later.
