Connected explores the visible and invisible connections between the major issues of our time — the environment, population growth, technology, human rights, and the global economy – demonstrating how they are all interdependent.
Following the filmmaker’s exploration of her own place in the world during a transformative set of circumstances in her life, Connected exposes the importance of personal connectedness in relation to understanding global conditions, ultimately showing how all of humanity is invested in today’s crucial issues. More than a film about social issues, it is a work that speaks directly to empathy, social engagement, and what it means to be human in the 21st century. It reveals how the interdependence of people and forces lies at the core of our existence, and imagines what the world would look like if we lived in a way that acknowledged this reality.
The film suggests that for centuries we have been declaring independence and perhaps it’s time to declare our interdependence.
I really love the tagline 'Perhaps it's time to declare our interdependence', very clever. I actually stumbled reading it, and had to go over it again before I noticed.
Overall, a very nice work there, so simple, yet getting the meaning across.
