This film puts forward an intriguing premise - what if the reigns of the awesome power of social media were handed over to people who want to do good?
The other question it begs is - what if the only way to stop the destruction of the planet were to use social media, rather than rational debate or intellectual/scientific investigation?
It is, in equal measure, an inspirational and depressing film. There is a kind of deliciously dark irony to social media being converted from the current Petri dish of fake news, anonymous trolling, pictures of food and perception manipulation to becoming an invisible force for good.
It is, ultimately, a film very relevant to now, and one that attempts - and in my view succeeds - in getting to the heart of the matter.
An impressive achievement.
