National Geographic Hacker Documentary Although this documentary was shot in Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia and the US, my part was here in Singapore. As a CIA agent, I find out that a teenage hacker in China breaks into our computer system (it really happened in 1996) and alert my director of the news. Broadcast worldwide on National Geographic in early December 2002 in anticipation of the US attacking Iraq and a Malaysian hacker shutting down the US government computer system in retaliation. Yes, it's complicated.
