Global Issues Pitch

Logline: We are engulfed in a digital tsunami- a toxic mix of social media, surveillance capitalism, and state surveillance.  We examine this through media ecology, a field pioneered 60 years ago by the prophetic media theorist Marshall McLuhan. The film features Ron Deibert, director of the UofT internet watchdog group Citizen Lab, and author of RESET.

Logline: We are more and more dependent on satellites. The film's purpose is to reveal the current events related to the rising deployment of satellite constellations, to understand the players and the stakes that are transforming near-Earth orbits into a new territory of geopolitical confrontation.

Logline: The social contract: the rules we follow and some don’t. Breaking Social uncovers the pattern of corruption and kleptocracy erasing the social tissue, followed by social uprisings. In Chile a new turn is taken, with young women in the lead.
