A quiet revolution is underway: As AI reshapes every part of our lives, ordinary people around the world are pushing back against addictive tech.

Your Attention Please asks whether we are willing to reclaim autonomy and human connection before it’s too late.

A crowd of people at a memorial march, some holding framed photographs of loved ones, with one person holding a sign with a photo of a young person and the text 'Carson Bride 2003-2020 Forever 16'.

A new generation of parents, teens, and reformers are fighting back against Big Tech’s agenda to define the future of human connection. From Kristin, a mother pursuing legislative reform after losing her son, to Trisha, a young programmer building technology to stop cyberbullying, the film reveals how deeply the attention economy is shaping childhood, mental health, and human connection.

As lawmakers debate the Kids Online Safety Act, Gen Z launches a global Offline Club movement, and a high school dares to go phone-free. What emerges is not a doomsday story, but a hopeful one: proof that the attention crisis is not inevitable and that a cultural shift is already underway.
