Acclaimed filmmaker Natalia Almada captures the ruthless locomotion of technology. Her camera flies with ferocious speed alongside jet streams, trains, trucks, and underwater cables that carry data at the speed of light. But just as her lens documents the power of frenetic human invention, so does it dive into technology's greatest existential competitor: rising oceans, crackling fires, scorched mountain tops -- a planet at war with so-called societal progress. In the center of this storm, Almada's young son stares unquestioningly into his computer screen and is rocked to sleep by a seamlessly paced electronic crib. He's soothed by forces outside of Almada's -- or, for that matter, any parent's -- influence.
