An upcoming documentary about NY Times best-selling author Cory Doctorow, and his term 'Enshittification’. Don’t let your world get enshittified any further! This may be a shitty story, but it doesn’t have to have a crappy ending.

You're going to eat shit and like it. We’ll be using artwork from the upcoming Enshittification graphic novel, animating it for the film, and using it to deliver hard-to-grasp ideas in candy-coated form. We will combine that with the tour footage, ‘found footage’ from the length and breadth of the internet, ‘news’ archive footage, expert interviews with thought leaders, and candid interviews with everyday users, on both sides of the shit sandwich. The film will call out the key toilet jockeys behind Enshittification, pulling no punches, and naming names - Google, Uber, Amazon, Meta, and even Boeing.
Our Cameras Will Catch Every drop of shit! Imagine Manufacturing Consent mind-melded with Bowling For Columbine and you’ll get a rough idea of how we see the Enshittification film. We’re filming Cory as he takes Enshittification out on the road with a book tour and a series of staged pranks. From Uber rides to endless battles with customer service bots, Cory’s journey becomes a frustrating, often absurd mirror of the very platforms he’s trying to expose. And we’ll be there as Cory dives in head first to confront the Enshittocene. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it’ll be entertaining. Cory’s tour becomes the spine of the film, taking us through how and why everything’s gone to shit.
The One Film Brave Enough To Tell You Why Everything Sucks Let Cory take you on a wild, topsy turvy, painfully funny, and at times frightening tour of the hellscape that is our modern society... While on the speaking tour for his book, Cory tells us why the internet and services we rely on... and once loved... are, well, turning into steaming piles of shit. And why is this? It’s a tale as old as time, corporate greed and a business model that intentionally uses venture capital to run companies at a loss until they create monopolies, which then squeeze both customer and supplier dry. The one percent wins. Everyone else gets screwed.
Enshittification The Film! Across a backdrop of weird and whacky images from the tech hellscape we live in now.
A whole bunch of weird, late-stage capitalism clip art with the words "Enshittification - What is it?" plastered over the top. Boy, you're in for a journey.
