The FX documentary series "Social Studies," created by Lauren Greenfield, explores the troubling connection between high school students and their smartphones. Greenfield uses a candid approach, focusing on students' voices without involving academics or experts. This worldwide issue reflects the challenges teens face regarding social media, prompting both understanding among parents and connection among youth. The series aims to illuminate these experiences, help viewers relate, and drive home the importance of understanding the modern social media landscape.
"At a time when people are paying more attention to celebrity, it's quite difficult to get a serious show like this out into the world to find its audience."
"This topic has touched a nerve worldwide, because it's not something that just kids in L.A. or in the U.S. are dealing with."
"It's important for parents to see so they understand, and also for young people to see, so they feel seen and see other people dealing with similar issues."
"It's been amazing to see how empowered they have been through the experience, because they started to understand how their peers were dealing with similar social media issues."
