網路發展到智慧型手機的演進，通訊與科技將現代人的一切生活與文化活動，跨越時空地連結在一起。 科學一詞在希臘字源中所指即是切割，人類不斷尋找不可切割的粒子或終極答案，卻忽略了人與人、 人與自然、與世界的連結。本片充滿符號與隱喻的活潑動畫，穿插大量歷史影像、多媒體素材，呈現歷史重大事件以及當前危機。導演為文明發展提出一個省思性的回顧，同時其自身家庭成員的互動觀察及父女的溫情自白，更增添此紀錄片的感人元素。

 

With wonderful heart and an impressive sense of scale, Connected explores the visible and invisible connections linking major issues of our time - the environment, consumption, population growth, technology, human rights, and the global economy - while searching for her place in the world during a transformative time in her life. With humor, curiosity and irony, the SHLAIN family life merges with philosophy to create both a personal portrait and a proposal for ways we can move forward as a civilization. The film proposes that after centuries of declaring independence, it may be time for us to declare our interdependence instead.
