Molly vs The Machines unveils the tragic story behind a teenager driven to take her life by machines that were built to control people for profit. It exposes a global system of power that reaches into our children’s bedrooms from the boardrooms of today’s most powerful companies. The film uses the Coroner’s inquest into the death of Molly Russell as a portal into understanding the two decade rise to power of Surveillance Capitalism and its threat to democracy.
