At 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.
Surrounded by a loving circle of family and friends, it was a life-shattering mystery to all who knew her. In search of an answer Ian, her devastated father, pieces the final months of her life back together only to discover that, when Molly looked at her phone, social media 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.
This is a nationwide premiere screening in partnership with Glasgow Film Festival and features a pre-recorded discussion with Marc Silver (director), Ian Russell (Molly’s Father), Charlotte Campbell (Molly’s friend), hosted by Carole Cadwalladr.
