Join us this Wednesday, September 9th, 2020 6pm for our The Social Dilemma Watch and Discuss Party Future Salon in combination with POW! (Power our World!)*.
Netflix is releasing The Social Dilemma documentary/social drama hybrid that day. The film was part of this year's official Sundance selection:
In the last 6 months, technology has become a lifeline for so many of us to stay connected. However, the same technology platforms that connect us also control us.
The new Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma, offers us a glimpse into how a small number of designers in Silicon Valley are quietly reprogramming civilization.
The Social Dilemma sounds the alarm on surveillance capitalism in hopes of preserving the very fabric of our society before it’s too late.
Let's watch it together and discuss afterward what we can to improve the challenges that the film is tackling.
Connect via Google Meet at 6pm with the goal to start the movie no later than 6:15pm using Netflix Party.

[According to their virtual tour page and as we are discussing the movie afterward, we are allowed to stream it. No Netflix membership needed.] The movie is 1h33m long, which gives us ample opportunity for in-depth discussion afterward.
We have started a Social Dilemma Resources Document where we collect resources for further inquiry or links to organizations that are tackling the problem that the movie addresses.
