• Overview

In no time, Big Tech has created an amazing new world. Welcomed by many, even when it came upon us all with uncalculated risks. But the tides are changing. A realization that unwarranted consequences of these convenient tools, thrills, and distractions might need oversight is gaining speed and muscle. In this context, UTOPIA focuses on Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse and Elon Musk's vision to pair many human brains with implanted computer chips while also building an "escape hatch" to other planets. Just in case humanity will fail on Earth. This film invites its viewers to be involved in a discussion on where humanity is heading.
