Dangers of social-media shown as film in schools.
Dangers of social-media shown as film in schools.
A new film being shown in schools warns children and teenagers against becoming absorbed by social media.
Me, Myselfie And I, by Islington-based Bafta-winning video platform TrueTube.co.uk, is described as “Big meets Black Mirror” and features a schoolboy who gets trapped inside his smartphone.
The film mixes smartphone footage with cinematic shots in a retelling of the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection.
It stars Michael Bunani, who appeared in Channel 4 sitcom Man Down, as John, a selfie addict obsessed with capturing his own image and posting the shots on social media streams.
