About The Documentary
Trust Me explores how technology and social media shape the way we think, feel, and connect. It is a powerful look at the human side of technology.
As shocking headlines and algorithm-driven news feeds fuel anxiety and division, the film asks: how do we stay grounded and united in a digital world?
Featuring expert voices in psychology, journalism, and tech, Trust Me reveals how to reclaim control over our attention – and our trust.
