Doomscrolling your way to emotional bankruptcy? This doc gets it.
A man lying in bed, illuminated by the blue light of his mobile phone, scrolls through cute pets, outraged opinion pieces and haunting images from the hot spots of the planet - and he feels absolutely nothing. With humor, director David Borenstein travels the world to investigate the seriousness of the situation.

Borenstein turns personal paralysis into global investigation.
Writing
Wry narration that weaponizes humor against despair.

Rapid-fire montage mimics the very scrolling it critiques.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
