Behind the camera with "Privacy People" documentarian and privacy pro Stephen Bolinger

As the privacy profession surpasses the quarter-century mark and enters into a brave new world of artificial intelligence and digital entropy, it’s worth taking a look back to assess how far the profession has come. That’s exactly what long-time privacy pro Stephen Bolinger embarked upon when he decided to film a documentary on the rise of the privacy profession. "Privacy People" explores the veritable plethora of interpretations of the privacy concept through the voices of some of the profession’s most seasoned and respected privacy leaders.

Bolinger said he felt there was a really compelling story to tell. By juxtaposing on-the-street interviews with individuals to sit down discussions with some of privacy’s luminaries in government, industry, civil society and academia, "Privacy People" looks at how this dynamic profession has grown and changed over the years, as well as recognizing the prominent role women have played throughout its evolution.

Earlier this year, IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy sat down with Bolinger to discuss the impetus for his documentary and how he went about filming "Privacy People."
