With Google constantly the topic of talk, it comes as no surprise that Dutch film makers set about to create a documentary of the anomaly that is Google.

The result is "Google - Behind the Screen", produced with the support of Australian broadcaster SBS and aired in Australia, the documentary captures interviews with various mid to high level executives from Google and delves into the ethos within the company.

On this blog alone, we have struggled to define where Google and its policy of "don't be Evil" truly stand in the ensuing Digital Age of Information.

Lifehacker posts a brief video clip and discussion on the exploration of privacy and Google by the filmmakers.

While not groundbreaking with regards to uncovering or nailing down any definitive positions, it is a nice look at Google and many of the cheeky cliches and uncomfortable controversies surrounding Google.

So do you suppose there's any chance of this documentary making its way over to the U.S. or any other countries? I wouldn't mind getting an inside look at Google -- as long as it's not all propaganda on the part of the filmmakers.
