My Sextortion Diary

(Diario de mi sextorsión)

What do you do if someone steals your computer and threatens to send intimate photos of you to all your contacts.? That happens to filmmaker Pati, who bravely decides to document her experience as a sexual blackmail victim.

In this innovative film made using phone and computer footage, Pati goes through a range of emotions: panic, a sense of helplessness and loss of confidence in the police investigation, ending with the determination to find the blackmailer and a way out of the predicament.
