Though Netflix's new documentary Audrie & Daisy may focus on individual experience; it speaks to something that's become depressingly common in modern culture, one specifically dominated by the public life of the internet.
Filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk share the stories of Audrie Pott and Daisy Coleman; both sexually assaulted while intoxicated with the incident caught on camera, soon leading to a torrent of abuse online from both classmates and their alleged abusers.
The film promises to take, "a hard look at the issues faced by America's teenagers who are coming of age in the new world of social media bullying, spun wildly out of control."
The film debuted in competition at Sundance; winning critical acclaim and soon sparking the attention of Netflix, who have picked up the film for distribution.
Audrie & Daisy will premiere on Netflix 23 September.
