Enemies of the State investigates the strange case of Anonymous hacktivist Matt DeHart and his claims of persecution by the U.S. government.  Unfolding like an espionage mystery, the film follows a multiyear quest for truth, with unexpected twists and turns until the very end.

Kanna has been producing and directing film and television projects for over 20 years. She began her career at Boston’s PBS station, WGBH, where she worked for 10 years, most notably on the hit series Antiques Roadshow. As a freelancer, she continued to produce and direct TV series for cable and public television and filmed in places as close as Iowa and as far as Yemen and Saudi Arabia. 

Kanna also worked as supervising producer for ITVS, guiding more than 30 filmmakers from production to broadcast, and acted as series producer on two ITVS documentary series, Global Voices and Women Of The World. For the past few years, she has been focusing on consulting and producing feature documentaries with independent filmmakers.
