Taskovski Films Sales has acquired the documentary 'My Sextortion Diary,' directed and produced by Patricia Franquesa. The film delves into Franquesa's experience with digital blackmail following the theft of her laptop in 2019. Set to premiere at SXSW, the documentary showcases Franquesa's journey in dealing with the aftermath of the attempted extortion.
In May 2019, Franquesa's laptop was stolen during a business trip in Madrid. Several months later, she discovers that personal photos of her have been accessed by an anonymous hacker who demands a ransom to prevent the dissemination of the images to her professional contacts. Faced with the threat of reputational damage, Franquesa grapples with feelings of shame, anger, and vulnerability.
