The Dark Side of Social Media

Our documentary narrates stories of individuals who have been victimized as a result of information propagated through social media. With the growth of social media, hateful messages have rapidly spread outwards from labeled ‘hate sites’ to seemingly non-harmful social interaction. The main objective of this research is to highlight the complexity and intersectionality involved in cyber violence when we talk about marginalized identities.
