Michael Kleiman’s look at the impact of digital connectivity on remote Peruvian villages had its world premiere last year at DOC NYC, where it picked up the audience award. Screenings followed at Ashland, Atlanta, Miami, IFF Boston, and Little Rock, among others. In conjunction with screenings around the world as part of Social Media Week, The Orchard releases the doc on iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, XBOX, Amazon, and Sony.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC, saying:
Director Michael Kleiman follows Peruvian families living in remote regions as their children experience the One Laptop per Child program, gaining access to the Internet for the first time. WEB considers both the benefits and complications that arise from digital connections. Alongside the poignant and sometimes humorous local stories, Kleiman interviews leading thinkers on the Internet including author Clay Shirky, Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales, and One Laptop founder Nicholas Negroponte for an insightful look at our times.
