Siani, Joni. Celling Your Soul. [Distributed by] Bullfrog Films, 2017. https://brooklyn.ezproxy.cuny.edu/login?url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/celling-your-soul.

CELLING YOUR SOUL is a powerful and informative examination of how our young people actually feel about connecting in the digital world and their love/hate relationship with technology. It provides empowering strategies for more fulfilling, balanced, and authentic human interaction within the digital landscape.

The film reveals the effects of ‘digital socialization’ by taking viewers on a personal journey with a group of high school and college students who through a digital cleanse discover the power of authentic human connectivity, and that there is ‘No App’ or piece of technology that can ever replace the benefits of human connection.
