I've watched 100s if not 1000s of documentaries down the years on so many subjects but I don't think many have made such an instant impact on me as this one which I've just finished watching.
If you have children up to even 25, but especially if there in the say 8/9-18 bracket, I would suggest you simple have to watch this from beginning to end. And if you don't have kids, but care about the why and the how we are where we are (even before COVID) you should watch this.
I thought I really knew - and I clearly didn't. Yes I knew all the pieces but not to the subtle and insidious degree that this calmly lays out. That's the key take away for me as a parent; thinking one knows when really one just doesn't know nearly half enough. It doesn't go into the agenda side of this monster (though its implicit) but in a way that makes it more powerful - rather concentrating methodically on impact and the human values at stake. Really well thought through, constructed and delivered with powerful contributions from genuinely informed experts, older generations, committed parent groups and particularly young people themselves.
If your kids are regularly online (and whose aren't?!), I highly recommend using this as a tool to sit down with them, watch and discuss as openly and as frankly as possible together - its a really invaluable safe space clearly made from the young people's perspective (with zero judgement and a whole heap of care) whilst going right for the jugular of the dark side of the moon.
Again I say, we think we know but do we really? And if you want answers as to why the generation of today has been so insidiously and cruelly prepared to become deliverers of their own post-COVID slavery, the fundamental constructs of mind debasement are all in here.
