In Who Am I: No System Is Safe (2014), who directed the film?

The story behind the answer

Who Am I: No System Is Safe (2014) was directed by Baran bo Odar.

The German techno-thriller follows Benjamin Engel, a socially isolated computer enthusiast who joins a hacker group and adopts the online identity WhoAmI. The story explores online personas, manipulation, anonymity, and the contrast between a person’s ordinary life and their digital image.

Baran bo Odar directed the film and co-wrote it with Jantje Friese. Their collaboration later continued on the television series Dark, which Odar directed and Friese co-created. This connection can cause confusion because both projects are German-language productions associated with the same creative team.

The film was released in 2014 and is also known by the longer English title Who Am I: No System Is Safe. Its title emphasizes the idea that computer systems may be vulnerable, while the plot also questions whether a person’s identity can remain secure online.
