Werner Herzog's new documentary LO AND BEHOLD: REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD. The film is premiering this Saturday (1/23) at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. 

TRT: 98 Minutes

About the film:

Society depends on the Internet for nearly everything but rarely do we step back and recognize its endless intricacies and unsettling omnipotence. Presented by NETSCOUT, a leader in service assurance and cyber security, Werner Herzog explores – in a playful yet chilling examination - 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.
