“An illuminating peek into the hidden world of high tech sweatshops. It's a photoflash insight into new forms of community organization, worker and social activism. A prophetic glimpse of the next labour movement.” Elaine Bernard, Exec. Director, Harvard University Trade Union Program. “Secrets of Silicon Valley” is a shocking exposé of the hidden downside of the Internet revolution and also a funny and moving meditation of our love affair with technology. Told without narration, the film chronicles a tumultuous year in the lives of two young activists, Magda Escobar and Raj Jayadev, grappling with rapid social change and the meaning of globalization on their own doorsteps.
