Social media has put an entire generation of kids at risk, and the proof lies in every young
person's phone. Dove’s film brings this heartbreaking truth to light. Crafted from Mary's own photos and videos from her social feed, as well as her journal entries, the film chronicles her downward spiral caused by mimicking online influencers. But Mary isn't alone. 3 in 5 kids experience mental harm from toxic beauty content. By telling one girl's story, we told the story of millions through a film about the dangers of social media designed to be shared on social media.
