Watching you - Die Welt von Palantir und Alex Karp

A documentary by the German television station ARD (lead: Hessischer Rundfunk from Frankfurt am Main) about an important and inherently very interesting topic, but the cinematography is too uninspired!

It was revealing, however, that Alexander Karp, co-founder (along with Peter Thiel) of the surveillance company Palantir, wanted to focus on Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film MARTHA with Margit CARSTENSEN and Karlheinz BÖHM (as a fitting example of the persistence of Nazi ideology in West German society at the time) in his first planned and then abandoned dissertation while studying in Frankfurt am Main.

The German (documentary) filmmaker Klaus Stern, who lives in Kassel in northern Hesse, probably knew Alexander Karp from their time together in Frankfurt and thus gained surprisingly close access to the now billionaire entrepreneur Karp.

This film is, above all, an interesting contemporary document, the significance of which will probably only be fully appreciated in a few years. The possibilities that Palantir can probably already offer its customers remain very vague. However, it is clear how important Palantir's services already are worldwide.
