China was the first country to classify internet addiction as a clinical disorder. Then the treatment facilities popped up. This film is an incredibly intimate and intense look inside these boot camps for the online gaming-obsessed youth, AKA "web junkies." Released in 2013 and shot in the years prior, WEB JUNKIES was a shock to the world when mainstream populations, average Joes, were just then becoming concerned about the widespread dependency and fixation of younger generations on the internet. Directors Hilla Medalia and Shosh Shlam were granted unprecedented access, embedding themselves deep inside these government-run rehab centers. Often emotional, sometimes shocking, and always thought-provoking, WEB JUNKIES examines a phenomenon that's only worsened since the film's premiere.
