The Great Hack is a sophisticated critique of modern power dynamics and institutional integrity. By highlighting female whistleblowers and journalists, it disrupts traditional gender hierarchies within the investigative genre. However, the film's technical focus on data exploitation means it lacks representation of LGBTQ+ and disability identities. The narrative emphasizes systemic critiques over individual lived experiences. While the film provides a global critique of digital surveillance, it remains anchored in Western journalistic traditions.
