Can't Feel Nothing
(Can't Feel Nothing)
Who turned off our emotions and why? One day, director David Borenstein realised that endlessly staring at his mobile left him completely numb, neither happy nor sad – nothing. As if something had sucked all his emotions out of him. Is this really happening? And who’s responsible?
With his camera, Borenstein went searching the world over, gradually discovering that we’re all victims of professional emotional manipulators who capitalise on eliciting specific emotions. From the USA, across Europe and Russia to China. From individuals to giant corporations. From propagandistic influencing, to trolling, to extreme overeating.
He guides us through a world of bizarre phenomena, revealing the tragicomic reality of the online environment and our lives. The film, imbued with black humour, shows that the situation is bleak, but there is still hope for a remedy.
