One man’s soul searching decision on whether or not he should join Facebook sets him off on an epic journey of self-discovery as he weighs the pros and cons of becoming a member of the world’s largest social network. From long lost friends who use it to find each other, to the pick-up artist who trolls the site to score with women. The criminal who tracks your every movement to know when to rob your house, to the couples bought together and broken apart, the best and worst of Facebook is on display.

“I’ve been producing television for more than 10 years and this simple, personal documentary has been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding experiences in my career. When I look back at the almost 3 years it took to make this film I am still surprised to see how little of my original plan made it to the screen and how many unexpected moments shaped the story of my exploration of Facebook. When my son started asking if he could join, and why I wasn’t on Facebook, I thought I had found the perfect catalyst to fulfill a lifelong goal of directing my first documentary feature.”
(Brant Pinvidic)
