Molly vs The Machines

From a teenager’s suburban bedroom to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley.

At 14, Molly Russell seemed like any other teenager. But behind her screen, powerful algorithms were shaping what she saw. After her sudden death, her father Ian begins a relentless search for answers, uncovering how social media systems can draw young users into dangerous spirals. From a teenager’s suburban bedroom to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, this film is the story of a heartbroken father’s quest to uncover the truth behind his daughter’s death and his fightback against how the most powerful corporations of the modern age operate. A cautionary tale for both young people and parents.
