Writer/Director Alex Gibney (GOING CLEAR: SCIENTOLOGY AND THE PRISON OF BELIEF) consistently presents his documentary feature films with a strong sense of clarity and purpose that is empowering to watch. ZERO DAYS, even though utterly technologically complex, is no exception. A wholly measured and well-reasoned account, ZERO DAYS opens by delving into Stuxnet’s discovery, purpose and unofficial yet undeniably obvious manufacturers. Next, Gibney takes his audience into a different direction, highlighting some important political standings several years earlier which might seem off-track at the time, but this connection very shortly becomes clear. From here, an extremely eye-opening case of both technological and political concern is dissected using fact-based material and several knowledgeable interviewees. One of which remains anonymous and worked as closely as anyone on the creation and deployment of Stuxnet! As is always the case in Gibney’s works, there are no taking sides or open activism. Actions speak louder than words and it is the actions taken that do all the talking in this excellent film that isn’t just a documentary, ZERO DAYS is an awakening. Like the recent CITIZENFOUR (the Edward Snowden documentary), this is simply a must watch.
