“If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product..”
The Social Dilemma takes you through the cons of social media, with real people from the industry explaining how their contributions have lost their original purpose, through a family in focus.
Verdict : 5/7 stars.
Excellent.

Jeff Orlowski was a heavy Facebook user before making the film. He’s not now.
Premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.
