Social Animals. A documentary on the "Instagram" generation from the viewpoint of 3 different people. An urban explorer photographer, a wannabe model and a midwest country girl and their rise, fall and redemption with instagram popularity. A lot of the film just reaffirmed how fickle teenagers can be, but it also highlighted just how easy it could be to be exposed to unwanted attention. I guess the trouble is finding the line between sharing your life with people, and sharing too much. The only fool proof way to avoid it is to not share at all. The story about the country girl provided a first hand insight as to the affects of bullying and how even a throwaway comment can cause someone to make that final decision to try and end their life. The photographer got popular, went against his group of friends and lost it all. he got punished for trying to make something of his life and break the status quo. The aspiring model summed up the "perfect" life quite nicely by saying that it felt boring, because nothing ever happened. Definitely had no expectations gonig nto it, but I found this doco quite informative and actually hit home with a few points as well.
