The rise of social media and the impact it has on our mentality has been the topic of much debate, yet its insidious nature means that users can still be oblivious to the full extent of the potential harm. Through interviews with former tech insiders from companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter, this film reveals how platforms are designed to manipulate behaviour, encourage addiction, and spread misinformation. Blending real-life testimony with a dramatic narrative about a young person who becomes increasingly influenced by online content, the film illustrates how algorithms shape what we see online, often without us realising, and the implications for how we then interact with the world around us. This evidence raises urgent questions about mental health, data privacy, and the future of democracy, making it a powerful resource for discussions around internet use and psychology. Accessible and as relevant as ever, this docudrama is considered a major cultural touchstone on the subject of social media.
