OHIO PREMIERE: What would happen if college students who have grown up with computers were suddenly forced to live without them? In the thought-provoking documentary DISCONNECTED, three Carleton College students take on the challenge of ditching all computers to see how their academic, social, and work lives are affected. No Facebook. No YouTube. No e-mail. How will they get their work done? Will they cheat? Who will survive the longest? This timely film, created under the guid-ance of accomplished filmmaker Melody Gilbert (URBAN EXPLORERS: INTO THE DARK-NESS, A LIFE WITHOUT PAIN, WHOLE) as part of a documentary production class, follows Andrew, Caitlin, and Chel as they learn to interact with themselves and with others in ways we have largely forgotten.
