​

SHINE is the creation of 14-year-old filmmaker Azai Willis, who is dedicated to helping the next generation understand the harmful effects of subliminal messaging, trend culture, and screen addiction. His first short film, To My Generation, received millions of views online and led to Azai delivering his first TED Talk.

 

In SHINE, Azai explores the shadowy influence of digital mind control and the growing pressure social media places on young people. The film highlights the urgent need for the next generation to recognize these forces and learn how to protect and preserve their inner light.
