Synopsis
The acclaimed Sundance documentary "Connected: An Autoblogography about Love, Death & Technology" offers an exhilarating stream-of-consciousness ride through the interconnectedness of humankind, nature, progress and morality at the dawn of the 21st century. Between texts and tweets, memes and microchips, we’ve become conditioned to break the world down into byte-sized bits. In "Connected", Tiffany Shlain—award-winning filmmaker and founder of The Webby Awards—traces interdependence through history, discovering surprising links between right brain and left; honey bees and stress; hormones and happiness; technology and nature; progress and consequences; and parents and children. The result: a personal film with universal resonance. For centuries we’ve declared independence. With insight, curiosity, and humor, "Connected" explores whether it’s time to declare our interdependence instead.
