With a society that cannot live without being a part of the plugged-in community, comes a documentary film from Werner Herzog, 'Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World.'
The film documents interviews of enthralling people about their experiences about being connected online. As they share their reflections about the effects and challenges technology brings. The audience will be able to see and may relate his own experience to the film, being a part of this modern world we all now live in.
This is Herzog's first film in five years.
Below is quote and quote, the description for the film from the Sundance Guide of 2016:
"Society depends on the Internet for nearly everything but rarely do we step back and recognize its endless intricacies and unsettling omnipotence. From the brilliant mind of Werner Herzog comes his newest vehicle for exploration, a playful yet chilling examination of our rapidly interconnecting online lives. Herzog documents a treasure trove of interviews of strange and beguiling individuals-ranging from Internet pioneers to victims of wireless radiation, whose anecdotes and reflections weave together a complex portrait of our brave new world. Herzog describes the Internet as 'one of the biggest revolutions we as humans are experiencing,' and yet he tempers this enthusiasm with horror stories from victims of online harassment and Internet addiction."
With this thorough analysis, many unanswered questions are yet to be found regarding the use of internet and what it holds for us. Welcome to the age where information and technology if may have already caused us more harm than good. It's fascinating and scary at the same time.
"Lo and Behold" will premiere on the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 23, 2016 but the trailer has just been released giving us an early peek on what it's all about.
