With the cadence of a classic spy film, COPY ME - I WANT TO TRAVEL takes three female computer programmers and three female filmmakers on a goose chase around Bulgaria in search of the world’s most notorious virus programmer, the Dark Avenger. Perhaps surprisingly, tiny Bulgaria with its abundance of trained but unemployed programmers became known as the world's "virus factory" in the 1990s. The film presents a provocative hypothesis: with the collapse of socialism and the demise of the Bulgarian computer industry in 1989, viruses were used as a form of social protest against increasing western encroachment during the transition from socialism to capitalism.

The film also sets out to unravel the murky history of women’s roles in the socialist republics through the fascinating story of the development of the first personal computer in Bulgaria: the Pravetz II. While billed as Bulgaria’s technological innovation, the computer was actually a reverse-engineered replica of the Apple Macintosh. Women played essential roles in the development of the Pravetz II; however, they were mysteriously erased from the official history of the Bulgarian computer industry. This quirky film noir documentary offers a cogent analysis of women’s labor in transition economies, globalization, women and technology and the bizarre machinations of east and west during the Cold War.
