Documentary Club Screening and Discussion: Your Attention Please (2026)

Dates: - [Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 5:30 PM–7:45 PM](https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/events/6a8df7cdaafa6100295f13a7) Join us for Documentary Club where we watch great films and discuss powerful topics. This month's selection is Your Attention Please . 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 social media reform, 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. Blending intimate human stories with insights from leading experts in tech reform and digital wellbeing, Your Attention Please asks some of the most urgent questions of our time: Can we reclaim our autonomy? Can technology be redesigned to serve humanity? And what does a healthier relationship with the digital world look like for us and our kids? © Sarah Robin and Jack LeMay | 96 minutes | Not Rated Community Cinema is at a branch near you! Check out hundreds of other screenings at libraries across Chicago. Accessibility English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing will be available for this screening.
