A filmed social experiment that begins to resemble an internet
comments section. A renowned method of experimental social psychology
is put to the test when artist Leigh Ledare takes a diverse group of
twenty-eight participants (representing a cross-section of Chicago),
as well as ten psychologists trained in the method, and asks them to
study themselves—an abstract “task” that pushes the participants
to examine their identities, roles, desires and biases. Far more
revelatory than a standard documentary, this high concept art
project/film hybrid speaks to the state of contemporary
socio-political discourse
_“...a two-hour glimpse of what happens when ‘people stop being
polite and start getting real’—or at least, when they think they
do.” - Steve Macfarlane, BOMB Magazine_
