Christopher Cowin is in his mid 30s, a family man who owns a small advertising agency. A court case he had recently lost has shown him the rich and powerful always win! That is why Christopher creates the website THE LIST. On this site, users can label corrupt individuals in public life and award them points as to how much of a menace they are. The result is a list of politicians, CEOs and bankers. The website quickly becomes a worldwide success but suddenly, whoever is number one on THE LIST appears murdered and public opinion starts to turn against Christopher.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released two years before Reddit's infamous Boston Marathon witch hunt, the film eerily predicted how crowdsourced 'justice' spirals into real-world harm.
Director Klaus Hüttmann self-funded much of the production after traditional financiers balked at the premise's political sharpness.
