When Strangers Click - A Documentary
The Internet plays cupid in When Strangers Click, a film about the search for human connection by way of online connection.
Premiering Valentine's Day, February 14, only on HBO.
Directed By: Robert Kenner
Plot Outline:
Finding love has never been easy. But it’s also never been easier. Online dating sites thrive on the promise that dates and mates are just a “click” away… but are they? From the director of last year’s Oscar nominated Food, Inc. comes a compelling new documentary about the way we woo in a wired world.
Kim packed a wedding gown and flew to Prague to marry a man she had only met online. Dave met scores of women before having to reveal a physical shortcoming. At 30, Beth had given up on love before going online. Ryan Googled “gay” to figure out who he was. And Jonas literally found a new life through his Second Life avatar. When these strangers clicked, their lives changed forever.
Produced By:
Marc N. Weiss, Melissa Robledo, and Robert Kenner
