Full Plot Details

On the 40th anniversary of the Internet, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC tells the story of the effect the web is having on our society as seen through the eyes of "the greatest Internet pioneer you've never heard of", visionary Josh Harris. Award-winning director, Ondi Timoner ("DIG!"), documented his tumultuous life for more than a decade, to create a riveting, cautionary tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives. Josh Harris, often called the "Warhol of the Web" through the infamous dot.com boom of the 1990's, founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network and created his vision of the future, an underground bunker in NYC where 100 people lived together on camera for 30 days over the millennium. He proved how in the not-so-distant future of life online, we will willingly trade our privacy for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire. Through his experiments, including a six-month stint living under 24-hour live surveillance online which led him to mental collapse, he demonstrated the price we will all pay for living in public.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThis is a remarkable film about a strange and prophetic man. What does it tell us? Did living a virtual life destroy him?
NewsBlaze - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsThe internet indicted as a mind control tool subtly turning humanity into exhibitionistic automatons.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marc SavlovHarris' thought-provoking performance art/life isn't yet over, but by film's end he's become unplugged, both literally and metaphorically.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Bill GibronThere is so much about We Live in Public that is mesmerizing, so much that is both shocking in its statement and knowing in its insight, that it's hard to take in at one sitting.
MTV - 9/10 by Kurt LoderJosh Harris: Internet prophet or fascist dream merchant?
ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smithey"We Live in Public" is a cautionary look at how surveillance affects individuals. Far from the Wim Wenders's "End of Violence" premise, it could signify the end of the world as we know it.
Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Shawn LevyIt’s a timely and lively film that reminds us that such phenomena as reality TV, YouTube celebrity and living one’s life 24/7 on Facebook and Twitter aren’t necessarily brand new.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleHarris saw this brave new world more than a decade ago - and liked what he saw. To watch We Live in Public is to wonder if the world we live in is just a reflection of one man's neurosis - if Harris's mix of emotional distance and rabid self-promotion has simply gone viral.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrFascinating, like a car wreck seen through a rearview mirror.
Time Out - 8/10 by David FearWould be fascinating by virtue of its subject alone. But the filmmaker wisely emphasizes how Harris also represents something bigger; this isn’t just the story of one man but also the dawning of the virtual über alles age and the death of privacy.
