A sobering look into the technological world that connects us all, THE DRUG IN OUR POCKET examines how smartphones have radically reshaped childhood, adolescence, and mental health. HIFF alum Anne Sundberg (MARATHON: THE PATRIOTS DAY BOMBING, 2016) navigates intimate conversations with young people, parents, and leading experts, revealing a generation that is thoughtful, articulate, and increasingly aware of how digital environments shape their attention, emotions, and sense of self. As activists wage a legal battle from courtrooms to Capitol Hill to hold social media giants accountable, they hope to pave the road for a more positive future. An Obscured Releasing release.
