Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World

Running time: 97’

Production: USA 2016

When was the first email sent? Can robots win the 2050 World Cup? Are there still any places free of electromagnetic waves? The legendary documentary filmmaker and Academy Award nominee Werner Herzog in his newest film deals with the Internet. The journey begins at the very roots of the digital revolution – a talk with UCLA professor Leonard Kleinrock, co-creator of ARPANET network, which was the prototype of the Internet that we know today. Herzog shows technological development and its influence on the lives of particular generations.
