Plugged in
Himself
Plugged In explores how social media and smart phone usage has an effect on our younger generations, those who are now born into a world technologically ready and know nothing else - and how hard it is to remove this element from their lives in these modern times. It looks into the design of social media being a purposeful tool used to keep people hooked in, taken away from face to face reactions and how the attitudes towards people through these mediums have become darker.
I, Psychopath
Sam identifies himself as a psychopath. Filmmaker Ian Walker takes him on a diagnostic journey to be analysed by psychologists and neurologists. But Ian hasn’t considered the reality of spending time with someone with a serious personality disorder, or the effect that the diagnosis will have on Sam himself – or his wife.
