DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT: Now, more than ever, we’re becoming increasingly less connected to a community. We are becoming so self-sustained it is possible to not interact with an individual for weeks. The mentality of politics, Brexit and Donald Trump are closed and unfriendly. As we develop, our ever-emerging technologies give endless access to instant entertainment; true boredom no longer exists in our First World countries, or does it? With this documentary, I intend to encourage and open a more transparent understanding of a subject matter so complex, yet so clearly defined, that it seems virtually everyone has a passionate opinion about it.
