This film explores the dangerous human impact of social networking, with tech experts sounding the alarm on their own creations.

We tweet, we like, and we share— but what are the consequences of our growing dependence on social media? Big Tech’s promise to keep us connected has given rise to unintended consequences like mental health issues, political polarization, and misinformation that is causing real-world harm.

As digital platforms increasingly become a lifeline to stay connected, Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what’s hiding on the other side of your screen.
