Be part of a US documentary exploring the importance of media literacy
I am working with a US documentary crew who would like to talk with someone whose friend or family member is currently being treated for contracting measles.
Synopsis:
TRUSTWORTHY (working title) is a feature length documentary, currently in production, that explores the importance of media literacy and efforts being made to promote it.
Through dynamic interviews with experts and compelling human stories, the film examines how information and disinformation is created, shared, and spreads throughout societies and how this, combined with confirmation bias and internet algorithms, affects our world.
Presented by the Getting Better Foundation, and directed by Academy Award® nominee, Roko Belic (HAPPY, GENGHIS BLUES).
Note that the crew are only in Auckland until Saturday and are unable to travel outside the city. Please contact me on peter@sprouttv.co.nz if you would like to tell your story.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
