About:
These two very different films (Cold Shutdown: Fukushima One Year After and Beyond Recognition), both look at the current state of the encounter between people and technology and ask how our lives are dictated (even dominated) by complex technologies, technologies that prioritize our lives while masking the games of profit and desire that they involve us while hiding the way that they force us to employ our own humanity in the service of dubious and ultimately sterile goals.
