Star Wars Kid: The Rise of the Digital Shadows (French: Dans l'ombre du Star Wars Kid) is a 2022 Canadian documentary film, directed by Mathieu Fournier.[1] The film explores the concept of the digital shadow, or the traces of a person's past internet activity that can be recovered to follow them around for years or even decades later, through revisiting the story of Ghyslain Raza, a Canadian man who unwittingly became one of the first-ever viral videos as the "Star Wars Kid".[2]
The film received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Biography or Arts Documentary Program or Series at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024.[3]
