LIKE is an IndieFlix Original documentary that explores the impact of social media on our lives. Technology is a tool. It’s here to stay and social platforms are a place to connect, share and care, but what’s really happening? Are we addicted? How do we stop? Where do we start? What do we need to know? By understanding the effects of technology and social media on the brain, on our lives and on our civilization, we can learn how to navigate it more safely together.
The goal film is to inspire people of all ages, especially kids, to self regulate. It’s not about blame. It’s about looking in the mirror and empowering ourselves to create balance in our lives and to learn to be there for each other.
From Commonsense Media: Parents need to know that LIKE is a short documentary about the pros and cons of social media. Experts in media and psychology are interviewed, as are teens -- most of whom have an uneven relationship with their phones and social media. There's no strong language, violence, substance use, or sex (save for a mention of how important a "like" can be for someone a social media user actually likes), making it appropriate for older tweens and up. With themes of communication, teamwork, and self-control, this film has the potential to spark timely, interesting conversations and positive change for viewers, both adults and kids.
