Synopsis

In a rallying cry of protest, a young woman exposes the insidious ways brands use social media to disguise their true intentions.

"Sucka Punch is a film about the rise of the digital age and the effects it may have on people growing up in this new era. Nowadays we spend so much time on our phones, laptops and tablets, on social media and watching television, that we are immune to the manipulative content we are consuming, unaware of the impact it can have on our lives." Iggy London, director.
