Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
Documentary footage takes a deep dive into the world of social media, exploring the work of media designers at big tech companies including Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and their role in shaping the pervasive influence social media has over everyday life. Filmmaker Jeff Orlowski works to expose how a simple design possesses the power to recalibrate the human brain through the testimonies of those who create these digital platforms.
