Camryn Manheim Instagram – I went to a screening tonight of the new FX series “Social Studies.” Every single person who has a daughter, has a son, or has a cell phone, needs to see this limited series the second it comes out. It is so important and horrifying you simply can’t believe you stand on the sidelines as this epidemic has poisoned our youth.
“Social Studies” is a groundbreaking, character driven documentary series that delves into the lives of the first generation of digital natives.
Filmed in Los Angeles over an entire school year, this ambitious social experiment features a diverse group of Los Angeles teens who open up their lives and phones to offer an intimate glimpse into how social media has re-shaped their childhood. From battling bullying, grappling with beauty standards, coping with comparison pressures and racism, exploring sexuality, and making life altering decisions, their compelling and relatable experiences take us on a raw, visceral and urgent journey through the challenges of growing up in the digital era.
Lauren Greenfield who brought us Thin(HBO), The Queen of Versailles and Generation Wealth, has tapped into the most pressing issue of our children’s lives. I was captivated and devastated by the 1st episode.
Bravo to Lauren and her team for illuminating this issue is such a sensitive and impactful way.
I implore you to watch it. The first two episodes drop on September 27 on FX and the following day on Hulu.
