Netflix has released the trailer for The Social Dilemma, a powerful exploration of the disproportionate impact that a relatively small number of engineers in Silicon Valley have over the way we think, act, and live our lives.
The film deftly tackles an underlying cause of our viral conspiracy theories, teenage mental health issues, rampant misinformation, and political polarization, and makes these issues visceral, understandable, and urgent.
Through a unique combination of documentary investigation and entertaining narrative drama, award-winning filmmakers Jeff Orlowski (Chasing Ice, Chasing Coral) and Larissa Rhodes (Chasing Coral) have once again exposed the invisible in a manner that is both enlightening and harrowing as they disrupt the disrupters by unveiling the hidden machinations behind everyone’s favorite social media and search platforms.
