What starts out as an already-fascinating look at the ways technology may be destroying the lives of Chinese youth Web Junkie quickly becomes something more. To combat what authorities deem the greatest social crisis for youth today, the Chinese government has created treatment facilities to detox and cure teenagers of their addictions to online life. As the unorthodox psychological sessions continue and the teenage boys begin to share with their parents the reasons why they feel more connected to disassociated voices in cyberspace than to their families, Web Junkie chronicles the results of a nation going through one of most drastic transformations in human history.

Directors Shosh Shlam and Hilla Medalia premiered their documentary during the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and it’s currently playing in LA and expands to select cities in October.
