Synopsis

At just 14 years old, Molly Russell came home from school, finished her homework and said goodnight to her family. A few hours later, she took her own life.

Seemingly happy and surrounded by a loving circle of family and friends, it was a life-shattering mystery to all who knew her. In search for an answer Ian, her devastated father, pieces the final few months of her life back together only to discover that every time Molly looked at her phone, the machines dragged her into darkness.

From a teenager’s suburban bedroom to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, Molly vs THE MACHINES 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.

Now, as Big Tech's war for global domination escalates with AI, Molly's story reminds us that the real power is still in our hands.
