Never before has adolescent mental health been so widely discussed. Across social media, emotional distress spreads virally and is increasingly put on display. But what are the risks? Framed as a cyber investigation, this documentary uncovers how psychological suffering is being normalized and, at times, turned into a commodity. As lawmakers debate stronger protections for minors and restrictions on social media access for under-15s, this timely documentary examines one of today’s most pressing public issues.
