Title: The Social Dilemma (2020)
Hosted by: Jane Palmieri

Set in the dark underbelly of Silicon Valley, The Social Dilemma fuses investigative documentary with enlightening narrative drama. Expert testimony from tech whistle-blowers exposes our disturbing predicament: the services Big Tech provides-search engines, networks, instant information, etc.-are merely the candy that lures us to bite. Once we're hooked and coming back for more, the real commodity they sell is their prowess to influence and manipulate us.

Here’s how you can be a part of the discussion:

• This is NOT a Live Stream viewing of the film. The film can be found on YouTube . Watch the film on your own time, at your pace, prior to our discussion on May 12.
