Targeted Individuals

Filmed, Produced & Directed by Alana McVerry for VICE

Recently, thousands of people around the world are claiming to be having the exact same terrifying experience. They all report the same symptoms: hearing operator voices in their heads, suffering from ‘electronic torture’ and being subject to organised stalking - they call themselves ‘Targeted Individuals’. A number have attempted many things to relieve their pain - from living life on the run to surgically removing their own flesh because they believe it’s implanted with microchips.

VICE follows a growing community who say they are being targeted as part of a government programme that is harassing and controlling them using hidden technology.
