    Premieres Apr 15, 2022

    A Social Experiment

    Have you ever just felt like you could totally unplug? Do you wonder what it would be like to live a day in the shoes of someone on the other side of the world? What would you learn? What could you bring back with you to make your life happier... less stressed... more simple?

    About the film

    Run for Manhattan follows a group of young surfers who have sacrificed their phones and technology for a week on a remote tropical Island and are forced to interact in real time with the people around them.

    The result of the social experiment with the boys is an honest, raw and quite confronting realisation of what they have in all of the gizmo's and newest tech they lack in a strong sense of intimate connectedness and social identity.
